Love the title Ruby, it's so fitting. The colors here are magnificant, both on the flower and the Monarch. You certainly did a beautiful job capturing him perfectly. So glad you shared him and congrats on the first :) Excellent post.

All the wonders you seek are within yourself. Always glad to see visitors at My Gallery and thanks for your continued kind words and constant support. Anita
Oh well, so the wings are not open, you got them captured to perfection folded. And, the red bloom upon which the butterfuly sits is superb. Excellent work.

I love it this way so much better Ruby. Ruby, Ruby that's a beauty. That is your first but you did it like a veteran.

You do not have to thank me if I leave a comment on your image...unless you really want to. ..It is my pleasure to comment on your beautiful work.
What a gorgeous shot! The colors are breath taking! Wonderful dof also. They only open their wings when they are on the move.

Never rebuke while you’re still indignant about a fault committed—wait until the next day, or even longer. Then calmly, and with a purer intention, make your reprimand. You’ll gain more by a friendly word than by a three-hour quarrel.
-Josemaria Escriva
THis is a great photo. The red flower couldn't be brighter. Almost like the monarch shouldn't be able to land due to the heat.
Thanks for sharing, Karl :o)

Wow! Such clarity and color. I would like to ask if the background is manipulated after the photograph was taken. Thanks for sharing.

If you want them to open their wings you have to tickle their belly.LOL Nice shot Ruby, well done my dear.

Well, it's my lot in life lately to be one of the last to the party, but I had to throw my hat into the ring on this one, and I must add I have camera envy big time if you got a macro that good..I didn't know it was possible straight from the lens..I always learn so much on here. I can't add anything more to what's already been said, as I am as impressed with the brilliancy of the flower and the butterfly, which didn't have to open her wings, and sometimes, it's nice to see a butterfly from a different perspective like this. Excellent, excellent job. *picks up hat,dusts it off and throws it into the air, "Hats off to Ruby"* :)PJ

Wow.. amazing picture! I love the richness of the colors, especially the red flower. This image is very crisp and clear. I love the subject and blurred green background too. Great post! -Sarah

That's okay-he's brilliantly beautiful from the side too. Have fun with butterfly shots--once you start taking them you can't stop. I love the deep red hue of the flower. A lovely photo!

Straight from the camera is the essence of the art of photography, Ruby, and now it's straight to my desktop! Well done! - Patty

Life may not be the party we hoped for...but as long as were here, we may as well dance...
This is a stunning shot, Ruby. The background brings this beautiful presentation to the forefront thus enhancing the color, depth, and sharpness of the monarch and marigold. I think you outdid yourself on this one........Neil

I saw a peanut stand, heard a rubber band,
I saw a needle that winked its eye.
But I think I will have seen everything
When I see an elephant fly.
