When I took this butterfly's picture, the wind was really blowing hard, and I think what you are seeing is the insect trying to hang on more than actually feeding. I used a motion-type blur for the background to let you feel more of what the action was like that day. :)

This 'jumpy-out' (perfect description Mr Bob) frame is great! I'm not understanding what the black lines are? Colors are fab as usual and I can this butterfly is trying to keep his wings folded so the wind doesn't fling him away..

The Black lines are just bits of grass that were also caught in the wind. I left them there to again illustrate how hard the breeze was blowing that day. :)PJ

Another fine "jumpy-outy" composition. Might just be me, but I think the color of the frame makes the 'jump-out' jump a little too far. Possibly a pastel pulled out of the shot might be better? Great composition all the same. :)

Hey PJ,
Bits of grass, umm, I like the lower one but not the upper one, it hides a bit of the butterfly's body, that's a shame,
A beautiful image, truly great clarity and pop,
Nicely done,
Thanks for sharing
Warm regards
Tim

Great macro shot PJ
A neat frame too, I'm left intrigued as to what the 3 black lines running from lower left to right are.
Have a nice day

Life's around said Phil the 35 millimetre cameraman. I recently went to the doctors, and said I've got icon fever, but he told me there was no cure for the disease.

Find your own answers. Nobody else has them.
some arboretums have 'butterfly zoos' when they don't want you to get a good shot, like this one, they create negative air pressure to pin them to the ceiling.

Very pretty capture & love the way it jumps out at us. I think I would have left out at least the top blade of grass, but it's beautiful in any case! C):-)

To linger in the observation of things other than the self implies a profound conviction of their worth.

As usual....
Simply magnificant!
Personally? Instead of the white in the frame, I'd have gone with a teal.
Beautiful work!

please visit my gallery Thank you, Terry
That's one super butterfly close up, PJ. The colors are fabulous. The Monarch had to be very tenacious to hang onto the flower amdist such a strong wind.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

Great close-up of the butterfly and the frame effect is very good. The flower is superb too.

Wow, I thought first, this is a manipulation, since it is impossible to get such a beautiful butterfly on such a beautiful flower in such a beautiful pose - I was not right, sorry.
