Hi Kyle,

Thanks and my bad on the image size. I goofed it up while giving the image link. Here is the larger one.

Simple but effective composition setting the whiteness of the butterfly off against the greens, also like the diagonal darker stripes that really add to the composition for me :)

I second that BG - it's as good as it gets for setting off the white of the butterfly. Do you remember what made that interesting pattern in the BG? Was it a tropical leaf of some kind? Nice details on the butterfly, too.

Thank you Tell Dickinson and Julie Kenward for your kind words.

@ Julie: BG is OOF coconut tree leaves. It was lit by morning light, creating 'green stripes'.

Beautiful Madhav. What makes this image different is the lovely BG stripes. Nice seeing and capture.

I'm loving this picture, the stripes in the BG really add art to this. The butterfly is in focus and sharp love the comp. Great job with this one. I could see it hanging on my wall :)

A wonderful image the white BF contrasting against the green BG and it's placement in the frame makes this one for me.
