Monarch Butterfly on colorful dahlias14 total reviews
Comment from Ray Gordon
Such a beautiful sight, a Monarch exploring the Dahlias. So bright and brilliant, the colors shine and make the piece. You have done a wonderful job on this. The translucent petals are gorgeous. With out saying you have immortalized this Monarch with your magic. I had to wait to give you its due. Ray

WOW! I think I'm going to frame this review Ray! Thank you so much for all the lovely compliments! To know you waited till you had six stars to bless this with means more than you could know! I feel incredibly honored by that! :o) Nancy
Comment from alaskapat
Wow ! This is gorgeous ! I love dahlias and love the way you have placed them within the frame and your placement of the pretty butterfly is perfect! We first study the dahlias and then our eyes go to the butterfly!
I can see that the dahlias and butterfly were well photographed with spot in focus, this image is clear and you have brought out every detail ! The soft background pushes the flowers and butterfly forward . The lighting here is just lovely also it's such nice depth , I feel like I could reach around behind the dahlias!
This is wonderful my friend!
Very well presented!

Comment from CREZart
This is so well done on post work. I am sure you put a lot of time in working on this piece. The results were worth it. The way you edged each petal is perfect and so pretty. The monarch is not even necessary but is kind of like the cherry on top of that ice-cream sundae :)

Hi Cindy, The Monarch flew in on his own accord! I don't think I could have had a more lovely visitor! :o) Thank you so much for the lovely review and six star rating! I'm thrilled you enjoyed this so much! :o) Nancy
Comment from Mark Lovegrove
Wow Nancy, "Natures Elegance" is really amazing. Something about three pompoms at this distance instead of closer in on one with your technique really works well. Beautiful butterfly and background bokeh make it pop. Good focus, texture and clarity. Extremely well done and thanks for sharing :-)

I just loooove this one Nancy.
The colors, textures and framing are so vibrant and perfectly positioned, that I dare anyone even the sourest puss on the planet to look upon this piece of art and not smile!
I don't know why, and I can't say how, but this piece gives me a sense of peace and hope - thanks... Bob
Here's my last 6.

Two sixes from you in one day, Bob! How in the world does one thank you for that! Nature has a way of lifting your spirits just by being in her midst. When you have a lovely butterfly and gorgeous flowers how can you not feel good? I'm thrilled you not only looked at the image but felt it as well! Thank you so much for blessing my image with six stars, Bob! I truly am honored! :o) Nancy

A beautiful visual presented here of this monarch butterfly nestled within these lovely flowers. Composition, shades, tones, colors, and background highlight your subject, and very pleasing way. Well done.

Comment from Kathy Banich
I can't imagine how much time you put into cutting those flowers out, outlining them and rearranging them, but I'm glad you did, as this is a beautiful scene with the butterfly seemingly finding a touch of heaven to land on and enjoy. Your technique has delivered not only depth and dimension but a 3-D effect that has those blooms wanting to jump out of the screen onto my lap. The detail throughout scene is sharp and well defined. This tight frame works well and keeps the viewer(s) focus on the subjects at hand. A striking image that should be framed and enjoyed by many for years to come.
