Backlit Painted Lady

Another image from the same place as the last post. Still trying to get something different from the norm. All the butterflies here just glow when viewing them backlit. It's just magical and I'm really enjoying spending my evenings down there at the moment.
I've still got about 1300 images to go through so i'll post a few more if people are interested.

Comments and crits welcome.

Cheers

Yes I like this. Great backlighting and the insect viewed from an unusual angle against a very nice BG. Keep on striving for that different shot, it can be frustrating but ultimately very rewarding when you have achieved it. I, for one, will certainly be interested to see some more.

Yes, if you can keep up this quality and provide an original angle as well, then keep 'em coming.

Another lovely shot Ian

Hi Ian,

Another great shot and I'm looking forward to seeing more.

The lighting works well, the light filtering through the wings looks very nice, but I'm not that keen on the perch.

Andy...

a very nice shot Ian, although I'm also not too keen on the flower as it competes with the butterfly somewhat. The composition, lighting and background are great though.

I am not so keen on the perch, but certainly a different view of the lady, and very nice lighting throught those wings.
