The White Pine Butterfly is a common sight in Summer in Central Oregon pine forests. This one stopped to rest on a black eyed susan flower. Taken with a Canon 30D and Tokina 400mm 5.6 lens.

Good detai, compl and great perch. I think if you decreased the intensity of the yellows just a bit it would place more importance on the white pine butterfly. Would also eliminate the green stripe on the upper left. :wavey:

Nice composition, I like how the butterfly is against a dark background. Helps it pop. I agree with Patricia's comments on how this could be improved. :smile:
