Comment from Angelheart The First
You have photographed a Monarch many times but this is truly your best.I love where you positioned it and the beautiful gradient background.Technically,I cannot find fault with anything Lili.This has the
butterfly "WOW" factor~

Comment from Photo4all
Oh the title is so correct!!

The flowers are a soft color but focus is so clear and the butterfly is like a stain glass window!

I like them to the side!

I love your pictures! Is your back ok nor?

I was wondering if you were having difficulty with giving me a good review so you stopped the reviews?
I can take it from you, my friend!

Have a great day!!
Brenda

very pretty shot of the Monacrh Butterfly. I love these little guys. Great color and detail. We have a home in Pacific Grove CA and every fall they come and winter there before going south to Monterey Mexico. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from OLIVER.M
Yeah the monarch is lovely and the flowers are very beautiful and attractive.The butterfly seems very busy while doing a good job of pollination.The view of the flowers and with butterfly at the centre of attraction this picture looks beautiful.

Comment from Helucas4
This is a fine example of good quality camera technique in the DOF, lighting, clarity and placement of the subject matter. Your creativity shines through in the sharpness of the brilliant coloring of the subject matter verses the blurred yet similar colorations of the background. Two thumbs up.

Comment from jrconrad
Lovely indeed. A super capture, looking natural among the flowers. The detail is spot on. It's too bad the upper left corner is so dark, a lighter color would help frame the butterfly. Looks like the flowers themselves could make a super picture as well. Cheers, JR.
