Zebra Longwing Heliconius charithonia

Took some photos of this Zebra Longwing Butterfly in the garden of My house at 7PM. posed in a Mexican Rose, using only the natural light avaible at that time. Went insaide of my house and come out about 1 hour latter (almost dark) and she still was there, so I decided to take only 2 more photos using the same camera and lens and a ring flash also to see the difference between them. I will post the second one in a few days so You also can see the it, and please let me know which one You like better.

Hi Luis

You've captured beautiful butterfly ... the colour looks contrast with the flower and the background. Great POV. I love it! The composition is nice. But I suggest to crop it to remove blank area in left and upper side.

Great capture in your backyard, Luis. Well composed. The color palatte is interesting -- red, green (opposited) and black/white (neutral). THe limited DoF works well, though I would like just a bit more crispness in the rose (hgard to do with the fast shutter speeds necessary, to capture butterflies, I know, but something to keep an eye on in your next session). Nice work.

Hola Primo,

What could be more beautiful than this Zebra Longwing in combination with the Mexican Rose? And a bud as a bonus! The butterfly is magnificent with beautiful colors and the finest of details. I love seeing both sides of the pretty wings. A lovely background and composition.

Jane

Lovely shot Luis.
Great composition & colour.

Hello Luis,
Another fantastic photo in splendid clear and contrasting colours. Excellent sharpness and details and a very beautiful composition and POV.

Hola Luis, tus comentarios me han dejado bien el cuerpo que decimos aquí, más viniendo de un experto fotógrafo. Es de las pocas fotos que he tocado un poquito con ps; luz, brillo y esas cosas, aunque si la foto es mala, aunque la toques no hay nada que hacer jeje.
Nos presentas una fotografía sorprendente ( y eso que creo entender que pones que había poca luz...) por la forma, pose y colores de esta pequeña en apariencia mariposa. Como siempre enfocaste de manera precisa y esos colores con lo bien que contrastan además con el fondo, hace que sea una foto impactante de entrada por su viveza.
Algunas personas para crear se inspiran cerrando los ojos, otras observando la naturaleza y yo, a veces, observando tus fotografías.

Un saludo: Josep Ignasi (José Ignacio)
