Allen great spread on the butterfly! I am wondering why you chose -2/3 exp comp when the image feels dark to me? Were you trying to tone down a reflection on the butterfly? Nice razor sharp details and the antenna look great - they usually give me fits!

Thanks Julie. This guy showed up in mid-day when the sun was very bright so I adjusted the EC down a couple of notches. Just trying to offset the bright sun...may have overdone it a tad.

Beautiful image Allen. Lovely detail and colours. Those bits of orange and red in the bg is great.:)

Hey Allen, excellent details and color. For me it looks to composed with the center comp and perfectly horizontal. I would like it better with some tilt in the wings.

What a beautiful butterfly. You captured the details nicely. I would prefer to see the BG toned down and blurred to keep it from distracting me from the butterfly.
