Hello jane,
Nice to see you post a butterfly shot. As it happens you have taken a shot of a European Small White (Pieris rapae), an imported species.
This is a fine closed-wing view with good sharpness and well composed on the lantana flowers.
TFS,
Ivan

I am lousy at ID'ing too...as you may know by my lack of response to one of yours a few days ago...I rarely see them although they are here...but rarely see them when I can capture them...so consider yourself lucky I guess..a fine blending of pastels don't you think? I like pastels...and sometimes the desert is full of them...with certain exceptions of the dark red rocks in the part of your state...very nice Jane!

Hello jane,

What a nice shot of this butterfly. You have made good use of the light showing so well the structure of the wings. You also rendered well the reachness of color tones. Butterfly and flower are creating a nice contrast too.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

Hi Jane.
What a nice picture. I like this subject with your performance. Wonderful surroundings and flowers and superb reflection of all features of the cute butterfly. POV is amazing and cropping/composition are simply spot on. Fine vivid colours, alive lighting and sharpness of the butterfly, leaves and some tiny flowers. My best wishes and compliments.

Hello Jane,
Great shot of this Cabbage Butterfly, you have captured it perfectly. I know how hard it is to get good results with white subjects, so I'm always impressed when someone does just that.
This is a wonderful example of how using correct shutter speed and exposure results in a beautiful image!! Great notes!

Hello Jane,
It's no doubt too hot for butterflies in your area. Here there are uch fewer this year due to the heat. But you managed to get a very fine capture of this White butterfly on the pretty flower showing very sharp details and fine colours. Well done!
TFS and regards, Ulla
