Hello Rick,
A very nice capture, both of the Monarch butterfly and the yellow daisy flowers. The monarch is portrayed from a great POV that shows the open wings with total sharpness and with extra emphasis against the OOF natural BG.
An excellent portrait of this species, also known in Australia as the Wanderer. I believe it was introduced in the late 19th century and has now taken on an overwintering behaviour in S. Australia.
Thanks for posting this beauty,
Cheers,
Ivan

Hi Rick,

I like the "tacky" title :-) The Monarch is beautiful and the daisy setting is lovely. One seems to enhance the other. A beautiful pose on the flower with the opened wings showing off the pretty markings which you have captured in fine detail and nice rich colors. The vertical composition is superb.

The title is actually very apt, my dear friend Rick!It leads one to expect a story, and this shot is nothing short of a storyboard!
Very well done!

Hi Rick,

A really beautiful composition, excellent technical details too. I didn't know that Monarchs were found over such a large range, so I learned something from your note too.

Thanks,
John

Having missed this picture earlier, I can say that it has been a great pleasure to go back to it, Richard.
The sharpness of the image is phenomenal and the subject combined with the yellow flowers makes a very attractive composition.
Well done and TFS.

Rick, this one's amazing: You nailed it! The colors are extravagant; you have great clarity; and that monarch on the bed of daisies is a special sight. Good lighting; good depth of field control; all the right stuff.

Well done and warm regards!
