Wow your right. It does have a feather pattern in its wings. So very cool. The clarity is great. The angle of the shot of this unique butterfly is great. The capture of the light is great. the image is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall

    MK,
    Thank you for your time and your comments in the review.

    Yes, the patterns in the wings, like feathers is what attracted me to the butterfly, as well as the shadow that was there based on the angle of the shot. It all came together for me perfectly in the camera's lens.

    Take care and be safe.
    Cheers.

I was thinking about how beautiful this was on so many levels. The white butterfly is wonderful in it's simplicity. The shadow that is cast by the butterfly is quite stunning. The shadow on the right of a leaf adds much more interest. The color pallet of browns and blacks works well together. You are right. It is begging to be photographed.

This white butterfly just looks fantastic, and no real photographer would pass it without taking a photo. It is unusual that it is sitting on a rock, and you have brought out the fine textures of it in a very good way.

The photo is also sharp and it is clear details to be seen in the wings and body of the butterfly. The exposure is fine, but I think the very strong shadows is a distraction. Especially the one under the butterfly.

The format works well, and I think the butterfly has got a fine placement within the frame. It is a lovely photo, but again, the shadows are too strong in my opinion.

    I did try cropping out the right side, and some of the shadow underneath, but it then looked incomplete as a composition, it did not have the same visual flow. The two shadows bring a nice balance to the image.

    So, I have to respectfully disagree with your comments, because having shot it in direct sunlight, every aspect is controlled really well when I look at the image as presented.
    Take care and be safe.

    It is nothing wrong with the shadows Lucien, but they are too strong, and for me a distraction. So we disagree, but you are more than welcome for the review.

Love this image not only have you found a uniquely patterned butterfly but the composition with the elongated shadow and pattern and texture of background works so well. Focus is excellent and the exposure of the white is spot on - well done and good luck in contest.

Comment from Shadow catcher


It's a gorgeous image,don't think i have ever seen a butterfly with that unique wing pattern,which does resemble feathers. Excellent focus and exposure,the white is not blown out,allowing a good visual of the pattern and wing veining,once shadow,the overall coloration of the rock with the white veins running thru,as well as it's texture make for a complimentary backdrop. I'm not sure about the shadow on the right,I feel that it distracts from the butterfly; I would be interested in seeing what it looked like if it was edited out,as I like the butterfly's off center placement. It's a beautiful image and I wish you all the best in the contest!

Comment from FBI GUY


It is a great looking pattern of a bitterfly I have never seen. The elongated shadow is very effective. Being the totally prepared photographer that you are, you always have your camera ready. Best of luck in the contest.

An artful composition with those shadows adding a beautiful element to the butterfly shot. The butterfly is shown in fine detail and the texture of the stone is excellent. Best of luck in the contest.
