Lovely shot of this beautiful Butterfly in its colourful location. I like that you can see the faint many coloured flowers which provide interesting contrast. Very good lighting and focus. Lovely composition. Suzanne

The focus was spot on the Monarch. The butterfly, especially the colors and pattern of its wings are nicely defined. The colors are realistic. I understand the you want to show us how colorful the environment of the insect is, but I think the many colors in the background distract from the butterfly. This of course is my personal impression, but if this would be my photo, I would lower the saturation of the background.

A wonderful shot of this monarch on a flower, like the blurred background helps set off the details and colors of the butterfly, a pleasure to look at, thank you for sharing, dale

This is a wonderful shot of nature. You have timed it well. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!

Nice show of the butterfly, but the background is a bit too busy and too bright distracting and pulling the viewer eyes from the butterfly

thanks for sharing

Wow! Fantabulous colors captured in one setting!

Excellent choice of subject.
Impressive mixed media rendition.

Try enhancing color saturation for a more verdant foliage!

Interesting modification.

Absolutely spectacular colors, composition and clarity! The butterfly is SO clear! His body looks like it is covered in mink! And what an amazing spotted headdress! I can see detail on this butterfly I never noticed on a Monarch before. Daphne Oberon

This is a very fine nature shot of a Monarch Butterfly in a garden setting.
The focus on the butterfly is sharp and crisp. The background flowers form a colorful palette of colors that compliment the red flower and butterfly. Very nice work.

The colors of this are beautiful and remind me of a perfect summmer day. Excellent capture of this beautiful monarch with a wonderfully colored background from the garden. Love the softness in it and the crispness of the butterfly. A real beauty.
