Photographed in my back yard garden. Cropped ca. 30%. Canon 180 mm f/3.5 macro lens + 1.4X TC and EOS 20D; ISO 400; Evaluative metering =0; 1/100s at f11; Canon T24 twin flash at -1 2/3; Bogen tripod
This Swallowtail is beautifully portrayed Keith. I love your composition with the ultra close-up of the butterfly - the yellow BG makes the image pop and the small splash of green is a pleasent relief from the warmer tones. Top shot!!!
Beautiful and amazing DOF. I'm a little bothered by the brightness of the yellow background - only because it competes with the butterfly for my attention.
