monarch butterfly

Photographers Comments
This is a photo I took last Oct. in Portland Maine. They were all over the place as they were migrating south.

Nice sharp shot, I like the composition with the plant shape leading up to the butterfly. The colours also help to make the butterfly stand out in the image. Not so easy to capture in my experience, they don't tend to sit still for too long.

Beautiful colours and good use of DOF, i like the off centre framing of the butterfly, as although te main subject the flowers are just as pleasing. Nice work Art.

Wow this is really sharp. An eye pleasing image. By the way, did you use PS to sharpen it? I can see some noice at the background.

What a lovely photo. Not easy to get a photo of a butterfly as they do not settle for long. Well done

Thanks eveyone for the comments. Steven yes I did use photoshop to sharpen. It printed out fine but I made one mistake. I found out to late that it is not a good idea to save a file after sharpening. I should have saved it then sharpened for printing. It has been resaved more than once. Art
