Twin Butterflies

[John Lowin]

Image created last year in my yard. Butterflies on on one of our butterfly bushes. I'm not a butterfly expert, but I believe these to be Great Spangled Fritillary butterflies. Accurate id would be appreciated. Hope you like my image. C and C welcomed, I'm here to learn. Thanks for looking. - John

Hey John, nice subject comp and good details, the BG seems to compete with the subjects. F/8 or lower would have helped soften the BG.

Hi John,
I like the composition, the butterflies are balanced and symetrical...agree with Mike on the background...looking forward to your next one...:cool:

Liked the colours & patterns on the butterflies. But would agree with Mike about the BG which looks a pretty cluttered & over powering.
