Hello Angelina,

I really like the butterfly's 'V' shaped pose that you have captured here! It allows us to view the upper and under sides of the wings!
Lovely colours, detail and composition!

It has been such an unusual year for nature, just keep looking, you may see even more butterflies yet!

Best wishes,
Bev :-)

What a wonderful fall colored background. Your focus is perfect as well as your DOF. I think you may have A.D.D. though :) You didn't finish your note.

Hi Angy
Nicely presented and very peaceful situation. Delicate background, good sharpness. Maybe you could crop it a little bit more from the bottom for a better composition

Hi Angy,

Wow! This is beautiful - more like a painting than a photo. It has an Oriental flavor with the delicate flowers. The butterfly is marvlous in a wonderful position. Beautiful colors and sharp details. A great shot!

Hello Angelina, what a nice name to make a photo like that! Photographing angels. This is a very nice shot of a butterfly, it is very aerial, we feel the element of the butterfly is air, flying through those nice and aerial flowers just like a dance. TFS,

Even on this laptop your photo is incredible looking. Little flowers and DOF in the sunlight are highlighted so well.I rate this top notch, but can't wait to get home to see it on my PC.

I always love your butterfly shots. The contrasting colors, how well they blend in with nature, and the small details that may seem insignificent. This is a terrific close-up of this feel. The DOF is perfect and as always, I'm left amazed. Excellent, just excellent.

Angelina,
This one is gorgeous.
We too have butterflies in Calgary, you know. Ha, ha.
Watch the next post and surprise yourself.
This one looks like a monach or is it really "The Queen".???
Keep them coming, girl, while you can.
Warm & friendly regards to you and your hubby,
Mario from the COLD.

Hi Angelina. Exelent shot of this "Monarca" They are still pasing by my town too in they way to south Mexico to invernate in "Michacan" I like them a lot. The other day I went to a park here and they were a lot of children seated arround a profesor who teach them about the Monarca buterflys, they all were paying attention in what she said. Luis52.

Hi Angelina,
even though butterflies look delicate they really aren't.I have seen them on days flying when it was snowing and when the air temperature was near freezing.They are sure aggressive as well as I have been "attacked" by them in a vain effort to drive me off but of course they are no threat.So even with the cold you have had it is nice to see you still have them around.This is a lovely looking capture with good colour,focus and detail.I like the airiness of light you have captured.Thanks for giving us this view.

Hello Angy

I am not familiar with this relative of the Monarch,kind of like Monarch-Lite.
The focus is excellent with lovely details,the patterns and colours are easy to see.
Well composed with a very good POV.The DOF is well handled,I really like the almost dreamy atmosphere.
