Shimmering Beauty
by Tina
The mid-day sun sparkled on the wings of this beauty as it fluttered from flower to flower. Beauty to behold everywhere we look.

She certainly is beautiful – and so are the purple flowers. Great DOF and composition!

Wow, just stunning. A perfect shot!

I was thinking the same thing about the DOF. It is framed perfectly with that in mind. The D80 is a great piece of technology. That coupled with a great eye of this photographer makes for a winning shot. I would like to know what settings were used and if a tripod was part of the equation.

Very colorful and enhancing!

This really is a very sharp shot. Good DOF and POV, nice colors. Composition-wise I think I would have probably off-centered the butterfly a little bit more. However; it’s a fantastic macroshot. What lens did you use?

beautiful shot, vibrant colors and nice composition. Tina, Well done. My only suggestion – the specular highlights on the flowers and the bright color of the flowers are causing the secondry subject (flowers) to compete with the butterfly. Toning them down postprocessing and a vigenneting mask for the corners should do a world of good

I have been taking a lot of butterflies the last few days. In my area Red dmirals are abundant at the moment. It can be hard to get a good shot as they rarelly stay still and never pose for you. Well done.

Wow, amazing photo.

A fine image love the colours and the good use of selective DOF. As has been said the flowers are competing for my eye with the main subject toning them down or cropping the image for rule of thirds would increase it’s impact…
