This works so incredibly well in b&w Jan. I adore b&w images :) Mr. Grackle better not eat Mr. Monarch though or he’ll die of a heart attack!
Jan Piller replied

hahaha – Is that true? would he die? Would he die of a heart attack because monarch caterpillars are so high in fat or because they are so high in poison?
Jan Timmons

What a great shot! The food chain in black and white – beautifully captured!

This dinner will give him butterflies in his stomach!

Hahaha, precisely what I was thinking!
Very cool image and processing.
Bunny Clarke

Great capture. Very well done. :o) I have to admint, while I love these black and white images, I prefer the richness of the color.
Jan Piller replied

Thanks Bunny – This one had loads of colour! Perhaps I’ll post both. Thanks for the input!
Peter Lessey

Wow…. Jan, This looks almost 3D from I am sitting. Great composition. Love the detail and background.
Love it. – Peter

Fantastic Jan!
BigD

Excellent work and capture, Jan. You must have been right on top of it with the Sigma 17-70mm lens? LOL
Jan Piller replied

Thanks BigD – just a few feet away.

B&W good but I think it needs the color too! If he eats it he will be able to fly better with the butterfly wings!! Such a good lunch, needs a couple of slices of bread to put it between.

Fabulous!
Lyn Evans

Wonderful..I love the black and white, this is smashing Jan.
Renee Dawson

Some sites I’ve researched say the bird will die from a heart attack – other sites say they will get very sick. Either way – birds tend to stay away from insects that eat off milkweed plants because they are poisonous / toxic to them :)
Jan Piller replied

Thanks Renee – I learn something new everyday – I didn’t even know it was a monarch till my hubby told me. Well now I’ll have to change the title to ” The Last Supper”. LOL!

Ahh.. b&w…. hmm…. I do like it. It will take me some time to tell you which I prefer… I’m leaning towards the colour… but.. the b&w really works well for this shot.
