Very warm capture. White on white with nice BG. TFS.

Nice sharpness in the bf and flower. Seems to be doing well for being so beat up. Where'd you take this and what kind of bf is it?

Mark, I took this near you ( I think ) at Brookside Gardens off the Capital Beltway. Don't know the kind.

The white on white works really well, Bunn. Very elegant. Sharp as well. The butterfly is not what you would call pristine, but the image shows the lifecycle and what they endure. Excellent all in all.

Nice exposure control - fine detail in the butterfly and eye - kind of beat up, but it's the end of the summer.

Bunn, Brookside is about 20 min. away. Too bad they don't tell you about what's in their Butterfly display. This is a neat looking bf with the subtly colored veins. I guessing that it's not North American because my field guides don't show any whites with the orange veins.

Really like the white BF & white perch Bunn, great contrasting BG and details.
The LP looks very nice, and none too worse for the wear.
Well done!:toast:
