    Today was the first day in over 2 weeks that there were clouds in the sky, and since high contrast direct sunlight IMO is terrible for avian photography, I've been concentrating on Macro, which is a bit more forgiving. Comments and critique welcomed. regards~Bill

    Beautiful composition, Bill. Lovely contrasting and vibrant colors. I love the effect of pixel bender here. I love the details on the monarch. The only suggestion I could make is to remove small dried flower/bud and the tiny bit of the stem on the lower left edge of the monarch. TFS.

    Bill, Good suggestion by Indranil. I like the way you composed this and the PB adds a nice touch to this. I would clean up the white wash if it were mine-but it's not a deal killer. The colors and depth on the BF wings are lovely.

    Hi Bill, I agree with comments above and would suggest giving a little more space at the bottom and right edges. I like the texture and colors. Quite nice!
