Whirling Butterfly

That's turned out very well Keith and life size as well, as I understand it "Macro" means 1 to 1 life size. (Thanks for the note)

so beautiful with the black background

les gaura sont très photogéniques

That's a pretty one Keith, well captured.

Splendid on black. Thanks for your visit

I tried this last night Keith, but it didn't work....I must be doing something wrong :(
I think this is quite possibly even more beautiful than the previous picture. I'm sure your neighbour would be only too happy to give you a cutting if you show them this!!

Superb, works very well against the black background.

You knocked this out of the ball park! So lovely, so many pretty details, wonderful colors, dramatic background...omg...Keith...you are totally my older brother incarnate! :D *rolls around purring happily*

Hmm. Well...gosh, I don't know if my older brother appreciated nature so perhaps this doesn't quite work but let's go with it! :)

Ha, ha............thanks Little Sis :-))

perfect on black!

A fine imaginative title for this capture Keith. These black backgrounds certainly make the flowers jump out at you. Well done.

Cheers, Herb

The technique works the subject stands out and the colours enhanced. Nice work

Thank you all so much for your super comments...............you're all very kind :-)

So right...a butterfly...my first thought :)
Your photos have such a wonderful childish happiness Keith!

Thank you so much Tanja....................I think that's because although I have grown old, I have not yet grown up :-))

Wunderschöne Blüte, ansprechend präsentiert! Ich gebe Tanja recht, im ersten Moment sieht es wie ein Schmetterling aus.

Indeed it does...............hence it's common name in the title. Glad you like it Wilhelm and thank you for dropping in.

Beautifully captured and presented! It's a new flower to me.

Thanks very much Eunice!

nature is amazing and you've caught it beautifully here! love how the flower is so bright against the black background and composed just right.

i'd love to have this in my group 'naturey crap - crappy nature' (name explained on group page) - if you want.

p.s. did they let you take a stem home?

Thanks very much Laura..............glad you like it.

I've added it to your group.

...........and yes, I now have a cutting for my garden :-)
