A Monarch Butterfly I happened to catch resting on a flower on its way to MEXICO for winter. Viva la Mexico!

Hey there! I love the colors in this shot, the reds and yellows are absolutely gorgeous! The only little thing is that my eyes are drawn to the second plant, below the butterfly. Since the butterfly has such blander colors, in comparison to the flowers, so you might want to try using photoshop or something to enhance the colors. Anyway love the picture, good job!

Hey! I love the colours on this, well done! Awesome!

I don't really find the butterfly bright enough for the rest of the picture. Maybe edit it a bit and make it the tinyest bit lighter, or oranger? I think the colours are brilliant though, you show real talent as a photographer, and even though you are really lucky to actually capture the moment shows real skill.

Keep snapping away!

Hello Hello!

That's a pretty awesome picture. You are a good photographer, especially to have captured that. :)
I agree with everyone else that maybe editing the butterfly is a good option. Because, your eyes just tend to move to the brighter flowers on the sides.
But for an unedited pic, this is good.

Keep clicking!
Cheers,

I absolutely love this.

The title definitely captureas the attention of the reader ... or, auidence or whatever. I really, really, love how delicate this butterfly is, and just thinking of an urban area, it seems to totally contradict it. It's delicate, graceful, and unique, the colours eye-catching and flashy.

I most definitely love the colours of the flowers that it is perched on. They're bright, like fall time. Althoug the colour of the butterfly and the flowers are both warm, the dark orange mixed with the warm, tropical pinks, oranges and yellows totally works.

This is great!
