Bob,
A beautiful picture of both the Rhododendron flower & the Red Admiral Butterfly the textures - colours & patterns of it's wings seen in perfection on contrast to the mauve flower. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Bob, this is a great capture of the Red Admiral sampling your azalea. You were Bob on the spot, with no hesitation and it paid off. You ended up with a shot that will be cherished. Very nice. Ray

    Hi Ray.. I was on my way into the house to review the Iris shots when I saw this one. I was able to get only one shot. I haven't seen one since. Wouldn't mind another chance, will see. Thank you so very much for a great review and rating. I am glad you liked the post ... Bob

Lovely capture of the beautiful Red Admiral perched on the purple flower, Bob. I like how you can see the velvet nature of the butterfly's wings against the smoother texture of the flower petals. Great camera techniques showing excellent detail. Lovely composition. Suzanne

Definitely best viewed full screen so you can appreciate the intricate details of the antennae and patterning on the butterfly.
Not one I have seen before it is very pretty.
Natural colors and sharp focus. A very nice image to view :) Mary

You have pictured this Red Admiral so well, and I like to see that it is sitting on a purple Rhododendron flower. The background is nicely softened for the butterfly to stand out in an excellent way.

The focus on the butterfly is spot on and sharp showing clear and well defined details in both the body and the wings, and the exposure is perfect.

The format works well, and the butterfly is well placed off to the right. A truly lovely and well taken photo Bob, and with an excellent DOF.

A beautiful image. The way the colors in the background blur into each other and the main focus is this beautiful butterfly. A very well taken photo. - Sabriya

I love the clarity of the tiny details like the stamens of the azalea and even the antenna of this Admiral Butterfly. Your lighting is well-managed showing prominent but natural colors. This subject is also well-placed in the frame. A delight to view, Bob.
