Note the petals where the butterflies have been munching on this beauty. The blossom is heavy with water droplets from the drink that the staff @ the butterfly conservatory provided. Still playing with camera settings :=) All critiques and comments are welcomed :~)

Beautiful white with just a touch of pink, very well done Mimi. Very nice with the soft focus.

It's hard to think of butterflies doing anything destructive :( Nice capture. This creates a very serene feeling.

My favorite, white flowers. This has a simple, pristine appeal and the water droplets add to the intensity of the image. Very lovely, Mimi.

Hi Mimi, this image is stunning, absolutely stunning in it's lovely colors of green and white! As you had once said, whites are hard to photograph, but you have certainly mastered this one! The clarity is amazing and of course, the combination of green and white are always a favorite, as they are very showy indeed! It would seem, you have added some light, or perhaps not, but in either case, I love it! I love to use the spotlight and often do! Very nice Mimi, Sincerely, Marilyn

Hi!

Haven't been in your gallery for a while! I am really sorry. I love this image, the effect of the butterflies that have eaten away at the petals make this image what it is tha is beautiful! The white is so pure, great job, can't wait to see more!

From,

The perfect title, have you added a spotlight or is this a deep shade situation? Either way it really makes the pure white glow. Just enough background showing, lovely through and through.
