Interesting that you just found this specimen. Where I live in MN, this species is only present during June. Nice overall sharpness on your subject - and it stands out well from the background. I also like the even light and the diagonal comp. I would agree with Jon about the dark areas lacking detail. (If you use Nik Color Efex Pro 4, selective application of the Detail Extractor filter should do the trick. ) Very nicely done!
Hi Allen, Nice shot !, lots of detail, we have one like this up on the Mesa in NM. "Two-tailed swallowtail butterfly", one of the only butterfly's I see up here. Thank you for sharing !
