Busy week.... didn't think I get to take a pic for this WA, but saw this butterfly resting on top of a rock wall today. We have a cold front coming through tomorrow so this makes me realize chances to see these critters are fading fast.

Wonderful DOF, and such a lovely capture, Bev! The colors of the butterfly are so brilliant against the stone. I love the contrast of the rough rock and the soft, smooth wings. I think it's wonderful!! An excellent image and composition.

Hi Bev,

I love the butterfly. It is gorgeous and you have captured it perfectly. I find the left side of the shot a bit distracting, however. I'm not sure what you can do about it, however. Maybe just turn it into a portrait crop and leave less from the left? I'm not sure it would be better, but it might be worth looking at. In any event, this is you usual exquisite capture. Great work.

I always look forward to seeing your WA entry because I love your subject matter and the unique ways that you capture shots. I miss my garden and butterflies already. Thea

Nice shot! Great DOF.
I don't think you should crop out the left side... I think it adds depth and a feeling of it being "on top". Also, I like the contrast of the dark and the light.

Thanks everyone, you're all so kind to comment!!! Yes, I included the shadowy rocks on the left to emphasize the height of the wall but kept them softer with the DOF I chose.

Thea, thanks for the sweet comment. I'm afraid my garden & butterflies will be history tomorrow; we're getting an arctic blast! Sigh.

Great entries this week!!!

Such a peaceful shot. I love the contrasting shapes and texture in the rock and the how sharply the butterfly contrasts off the wall

I like the colors and dof, plus the light distribution ; very well done to fit the WA.
You are very lucky with insects

another Bevalicious style shot you have here. There is no mistake in your work. You always seem to come up with fantastic shots no matter what it is. Like you have an archive of interesting things to shoot in your backyard (just like Sir Endre. Ha ha)
Good stuff

Thanks, everyone! Really appreciate all the wonderful feedback.

I have a nice back yard in sunny Texas with lots of flowerbeds and a koi pond, so there are lots of critters and things out there to shoot. I go out with my 2 dogs and take my camera most every time 'just in case'. You never know what you'll find. Yesterday I was surprised to see a gecko (lizard) hiding among some bushes; it's pretty late in the year for those little fellas!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Beverly,

Nicely captured. Your choice of DOF just enhances the "from the top", well doe.

I like the dof, the light brings out the Butter Fly, they are were gone from here a couple weeks ago, it is kind of sad.
