This is one of my "babies" from last summer, newly emerged and squeaky clean.

[Ron Conlon]

I love the freshness of the newly emerged, and a lovely background. Perhaps a sliver more breathing room at the bottom?

[Jerry van Dijk]

Amazing butterfly on a gorgeous perch with a lovely background. Very well done! Not sure if this is full frame, but if you have more room, I'd slightly rotate the image CCW for composition, at the same time creating a little more room below the butterfly like Ron suggests.

[Jonathan Ashton]

Thanks for the feedback everyone - can you believe it I cannot find the raw file!

[Steve Maxson]

Beautiful light, colors, and background, Jon! Excellent sharpness and a pristine subject, too! Very nicely done!

[Dave Johnson]

A really high quality shot Jon. Everything about it is gorgeous - light, exposure, subject, focus etc etc. I would add some to the bottom though if it were mine.

Wow, right out of the chrysalis! I'd pull the curve up a bit. Great job of paralleling the subject. a
