I haven't been active on the forum lately, my elderly mother has been unwell and so time has been short. I did get out for a few images this weekend. Unfortunately I couldn't come up with anything very exciting. I liked the colors in the corner here, perhaps just my mood. Anyway, fall is here, and the birds are not. Taken with the 40D, 100-400, not sure about the rest. Thanks for looking.
Carole, the colors in this are really lovely. Like Robert, I wish the leaf wasn't clipped by the red but I bet you could get away with cloning over that for the most part.
I can see why the colors caught your eye, Carole. I kind of like the idea of the butterfly being the colorless one, and the flowers having the color, because usually the butterfly is the one doing the color display.
