Absolutely gorgeous photograph of the Monarch butterfly sitting on the beautiful bloom of Datura.
Wonderful colors and splendid details that are so nice to view, so nicely presented against the black background.

This is indeed striking photo with the light shining so lovely through the white blossom, and the colorful butterfly sitting on it. I also like the dark background because both the flower and butterfly is standing out so well from it.

The photo is pin sharp and it is indeed clear and well defined details to be seen both in the flowers and the butterfly. The white balance and exposure is spot on.

The format and tight framing is perfect, and with the flower off to the left, it is a very good balance in the composition. I think this is a truly lovely and well taken photo Lee Ann, and with an excellent DOF. I wish you luck with the contest.

Gorgeous photograph of a Monarch sitting on a Datura Flower. The black background enhances the colors of the butterfly and flower. Good focus and lighting. Sharp detail. Nicely composed. Well done. Good luck in the photo contest.

I wish I had a 6 left, as this is so special in this position and angle with the black background that it stands out so beautifully - the sunlight reflection is beautiful as it lets us the butterfly - your arrangements and adjustments are excellent - your angle and position fantastic , your moment special in such a close up that ever tiny details are clear and shrp with perfect contrast and ighting - excellent contest entry , best of luck

Lee Anne,
A artistic & very beautiful picture of the Monarch Butterfly alighted on the rim of the trumpet shaped Datura flower the sunlight glowing through the Butterfly's wings & the flower's trumpet. Both standing out in sharp contrast with the dark black background. Artistic composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

a wonderful close up LeeAnn of this monarch butterfly perched on the edge of a white datura flower; I like how you captured the beauty and transparency of the flower;

What a beautiful photograph. Love the gorgeous Monarch and the Datura flower is really nice too. So delicate yet impressive. Nice darkened background brings the foreground out nicely.
