[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Australian Painted Lady (Vanessa kershawi)
Family: Nymphalidae
Size: 6cm wingspan

The Australian Painted Lady can be seen throughout most of the year in suburban parks and gardens, along roadsides and in weedy areas.

They are easily recognised by their orange and brown colouring.

They have a rapid flight and will land frequently on the ground or on flowers to feed with their wings slightly outspread.

Hi Chi, your butterfly and flowers are so colourful and sharp. It is a wonderful image close up of the Australian Painted Lady. Sharpness, POV, clear details, colours and composition are wonderful. I do like this very much, tfs

Hello Chi!
This painted lady is very pretty. As usual, this is another faultless capture from you. The green background, the delicate blossoms and the rich colours of the butterfly all combine together to leave a deep impact on the beholder.

Hi Chi,
The vivid colors in this are amazingly beautiful. Outstanding detail! The composition and framing are flawless. Control on the DOF is perfect here. I like that you did not need the flash and used natural light. SUPERB!
