   Clear shot, but if there is a contrast between the butterfly and the background it will be more strong, nice shot, good luck

   That is a wonderful. It is very clean clear shot and all the subject is in focus. I like the angle at which this marvelous creature resides in. Great shot Anise.

   Good placement of the butterfly. I Like the alignment of the flowering shoots and the butterfly along parallel axes. The brightest shoot back in the distance is a distraction.

   The reason this picture works so well is the short depth of field and the fact that all the colors go together so well. There is nothing loud and no clashes. Also your butterfly placement complies to the rule of thirds; sometimes off center works better than slap bang in the middle.You don’t need more contrast; you’ll overcook the shot.

    ‘halfway decent..”Charlene, you underestimate yourself! This is Beautiful. The stillness of the butterfly looks as if one can touch it & it will fly away.

    Very sharp, very colorful. Compositionwise I would rather have seen the butterfly in the bottom righthandside. Anyway, a great picture!
