Great lighting and composition Yves. The green tuft of grass I. The corner adds nice COLOR to the background and the butterfly looks so beautiful taking in the warmth of the sunshine.

Thanks Debra. I specialy framed the butterfly with the green tuft of grass for the reason you said.

I love this light too, Yves. Also, that the butterfly is not in the center of the photo...gives it more interest, I think. Just FYI for everyone....this is NOT a Monarch. It is a Viceroy butterfly...a mimic of the Monarch.

Thanks for the appreciated comments Jane
