Another capture using the canon 70-300 Is USM lens, hand held. This was kind of reach for even that zoom. This has been cropped, and some postwork done.

I managed to get out of that hot work place in a little of 10 hrs today, but going in early tomorrow. In our dept. you go home when you get that day's orders done! Does not matter if your waiting on parts-yes it sucks big time!

Thank you in advance for commenting.

What makes this image a little different is the long purple bloom. It is beautiful. Wish the other wing of the butterfly was more visible. I like the bright color of the insect. Nice. KEEP-PAH

Owd Momma is right about the wing Tigz but still a stellar photo.
I like the contrast in this one. I can't get the little devils to land here. I think they would burn their feet.
Good post.

That's quite a coincidence, Tigs, that you got out of work in 10 hours because that's exactly how long I napped today. Just thinking about it is making me drowsy.

Beautiful colors, excellent composition, perfect focus and DoF. What can I say that hasn't already been said before I got here? TicK used a good one a few days ago. "I agree with all of the previous comments". The thing is that he was the first commenter when he said that!

The oblique angle is a cracker of a composition!...If that B'Fly was any heavier then it would sink!...lol

Detail is, as always, very, very good!...

I love the composition and perspective of this shot! That people purple flower leads you eye to the flutterby like a bullet out of a gun and the orange contrast with the purple is stunning. This is magic :)

Think it's not amazing that the 'Buddleja davidii' is also called 'butterfly-bush', because it a paradise for butterflies because of the special nectar.

Excellent capture of this butterfly in paradise, Sandi.

Awesome. I love the stacking effect topped with the monarch. Fabulous and original presentation of a Flutter-By - a stand out amongst many flutter-by shots. A most excellent job.
