Love the shot Marion, capturing butterflies is always a treat. The depth of field is pretty unique, throws your eyes toward the two subjects. I will say I don't care too much for the vertical format you chose. I feel this would be more powerful at 650px in height (from the top). Reason is the extreme vertical makes the eyes work overtime to get to the subjects, the beautiful Silvery Checkerspot's. This takes away the power of the subjects a bit and puts more focus on the foreground.

Overall this is a great shot, the colors are amazing and the grain is just right. Not to mention the rarity of finding these guys just chillin' out on some wood!

Cheers!

What a wonderful capture. The green and blue tones work magically with the two butterflies.
And a wonderful vertical perspective. It makes you feel like a little bug!

Super well done + fav.

Great how your attention goes straight to the 2 lovely butterflies! The colors in the surrounding help wonderful to get the attention and make the subject more stronger. Lovely!

dholms [2003-06-02 12:49:27 +0000 UTC]

ok marion.
i'm gonna forgive you for your lack of description,...again.
AND the fact that you didn't take my advice and name this
'duet' rather than 'duo'.
*sigh*
why do we HAVE those long chats well into the morning
hours if you're not going to listen to me???
*snicker*

i'm bound to ruin your reputation by association aren't i?
cut me loose and set me adrift! hurry! before it's too late!!!

uhm,...i guess i should at least make one remark about this
beautiful photo, shouldn't i?
the excellant perspective,...the wonderful colors,...how you've
managed so much fluid motion with nothing but the inanimate
setting,...while that which should be animated (the butterflys)
seem absolutely frozen in the moment.
tell me,...how were you able to get them to pose like that?
and don't say your personality,...because i,...uhm,...ok,...
it could have been your personality. *rollseyes*

wonderful.

gvcarroll [2003-06-02 09:54:29 +0000 UTC]

It's a shame about the glare off that one blade of grass, its brightness is distracting, but it's so hard to control for those kinds of things in quick 'take it or loose it shots' like this. Other than that, I like it a lot. Not sure why everyone's so focused on the empty foreground space tho.

Beautiful subject; Wonderful compliment of hues, really sucks you in. But i think you have too much empty space on the bottom of your image. (e.g. the log). I'd cut aboe 4/5 of it off. Leave probably about 100-150 pixels left.
