"Colourful Butterfly"


Tampa/Lutz, US
          

I know that the head is not as sharp as can be - but the clours look good against the green background- What do you think?

I know "Rules are meant to be broken" but I still feel that it's essential that the head should be in focus. Otherwise, the butterfly stands out very nice against the green foliage. Be careful about shiny leaves, showing in the frame. They show as distracting white blobs or streaks. That's one of the advantages of taking photographs early in the morning when the insects aren't active: you are able to remove distracting elements without frightening them away.

Cheers,
Philippe
