Gorgeous color and perfect focus

Thanks Mike… :) :)

How outstanding! I know how hard it is to get shots like this. You might as well try to capture the wind. Good job.

Beautiful image.

Thanks Matt… the funny thing, it is that I always wished for an occasion to take such a shot… and one day when I was a bit down, I saw that beauty flying by in my rear view mirror (I was in my car.) I then said out loud… “Just stick around please, I would love to take a picture of you.” So I hurried and grabbed my camera out of my bag, and “hurried slowly” towards where he has landed. I took a few shots… (this one was one of them.) he was so gracious and gentle… and then he flew away to sit on a dead great-mullein… so I took more shots afterwards…
When he left once more, I thanked him and away he flew.

Thanks frogster, I am glad you like it… :)

wow…magnificent shot!

Thanks MissKristy :)

Mick… patience will bring you there…

Thank you Chloe… :)

Very nice capture of the monarch! Well done :-)

Thanks Boretti… :))

Stunning butterfly. Well captured Crokuslabel.

Thanks Greenfrog… :))

I like the flowers to the front. We cheat on our monarch shots – we raise them during the summer. They are quite docile once hatched – it takes a full 30 min or so for the wings to fully dry, allowing all sorts of wonderful photo opportunities! Then…. zip! Off they go! Nature captures are SOOOO much more difficult – you did excellent here! Thanks for sharing!

Oh… Thank you so much EmmaLeigh… I so wish to once be in a butterfly hatchery (if I may call it as such… )
They are so beautiful
I feel so grateful to have this shot.. (I have a few more that I will upload this week… )
Much Love to you… :)

Stunning capture, the clarity and colour just awesome well done.

Thanks Steve… :)

wonderful photo, very sharp and good composition

Thank you very much Henk… :)

What a great macro, well captured, beautifully presented with the soft surrounding colours, & to top it off we have the two little flowers in the forground …... couldn’t do better than that my friend!

Thank you so much for your kind words EricKyle… :) :)

Brilliant shot – what natural beauty you have captured – ban all pesticides I say – go organic – as I believe these are almost endangered?

I know Artsy3… it is sad to see that nature is being hit as such… I sure hope that my photography can help people think twice at times…
Thanks for your comment… :)

Great shot – I like the colours and complementary background

Thanks Steve… :)

Great shot! I love butterflies! I like to think that I help raise Monarchs with my butterfly garden :)
Their Winter habitat in the Rain Forest is being destroyed, so they are close to becoming endangered. You did a great job capturing this image!
