Hi Nonda,
This is a butterfly - what we would call in the UK a Red Admiral - I think!! This looks really nice to me - lovely and sharp - colours beautiful - the light seems a little harsh but you did a good job and it doesn't bother me.
Regards,
Nicki

Thanks for the ID Niki! Yes it was a bit earlier in the day than I like to head out but you go when you can:-)

[Harold Davis]

you have some very well composed butterfly images!! i enjoy yours a lot because not only do you have the great looking butterfly at proper angles, but you include other elements like a cool bg and an awesome perch. dont get a swelled head!!:p:p:D but you do a great job with these!! show us some more!!

[WIlliam Maroldo]

Nice composition and colors. It looks over sharpened to me, especially the flower the butterfly is on. If I am incorrect I would not be surprised. regards~Bill

Excellent composition Nonda. The butterfly looks very sharp and the background is excellent IMO.

:)Very good Nonda, like the BG and COMP, as mr. H. awesome perch:)

[Alfred Forns]

Excellent Nonda Just wish it had less flowers at the bottom The off ones are sort of dominating !! The bug looks really good !!!!

[Lance Peters]

Hi Nonda - agree with AL - The BUG looks really good :)

Seriuosly though really like as everything ties in together in the picture, the OOF flowers dont bother me and the BG is great.

Well done.

[Nonda Surratt]

Thanks! I enjoy BF's a bunch! Now to just get the time to go out!

Not to worry Mr H no big head here, do appreciate the kind words tho'.

[Julie Kenward]

Really nice, Nonda! I agree with Al, if you had moved around a bit you might have managed a little bit of separation between the plant the butterfly is on and the one behind it. I also think your overall coloring is a bit light. Did you lighten it in pp (post processing) in order to bring detail to the butterfly? If not, I'd pull the lightest tones down a bit and let those beautiful colors show through!

[Nonda Surratt]

Nope didn't lighten in post. Moving around would have just added more of the same, removed some from the right side in post, the area is solid with those plants,all you can do it try and deal with them so they are somewhat as unobtrusive as possible.:)
