I know I've said this before but if you want butterflies in your yard plant coneflowers. They are just like magnets. This was taken in the afternoon sun with a 100mm lens.

Nice simple image design and super colors Kathy! We are cooking flowers this year with no rain and watering restrictions so it is slim pickings for the butterflys in the Houston area. #6170739frank w. degenhardt July 12, 2008

Stunning! I think those flowers would die out here in the desert heat! :( #6172055Dennis Gay July 12, 2008
G'day Kathy,This butterfly study has been done very, very well.
The subject itself is a very fine specimen and it sits upon a most complementary flower.
Your composition is perfect.
The focus is crisp and the depth of field has rendered a very fine bokeh to a most pleasing background.
The lighting/exposure/processing show off the little scene extremely well.
The colours are beautifuly natural and the contrast most pleasing.
Great work that girl!
