Hello all,

I took this picture today at the "Jardin Botanique" of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Yes it was inside... :-) as we have about 7 foot of snow outside.

Found that this small fellow had some "personality".

Thank you for your comments.

Steph.

It is not easy to get good shots inside a BF house you did well with this one, I do find the brighter upper half of the BG a bit distracting and I think the perch is slightly over powering the BF.

Lovely BF image. I like the light colored background and the comp.

One thing I would have liked to see would be if you could have gotten up higher and more level with the BF when you made the image so we are not looking up at it. Besides being more on eye level with the subject this would have helped uncover the BF more from the fern.

Thanks for sharing.

Hey Stephane, I like your comp and the BG works well. I would boost the contrast which would make the blacks in the wings contrast more, and pop against the white BG.
