Fall Frittilary
Uploaded: October 27, 2009
Different butterfly, different day...probably different mosquitoes, but they sure LOOKED the same!
This guy made nice, and landed on an outstretched lantana branch. Just add macro, and voilá! Instant BG.

Your images are excellent! I learned from your bio that you are a perfectionist. I think all real good photographers are. If you're like me, you are always looking for ways to improve.Tess L. Yee March 09, 2010
Thanks for stopping by with a kind (and helpful!) comment, David. I do like your suggestions (played around with something similar myself, but also liked the 'impressionist' feel to the BG). Now that my PSE skills are marginally better, I might give it another go! #8442887Amanda J. Tanner June 29, 2010
