This is a discussion on Swallowtail within the Macro forums, part of the Showcase category; The butterflies have been scarce in our yard this year so I was thrilled to get this Pipe Swallowtail....

I like the back-lighting of the wings. |

I love the DOF with the double winged effect. I have a Private Pilots License and love flight; your image reminds me of an airplane with the main wings and elevators (wings on the end of the airplane) coupled to the beauty of the Swallowtail as I see what I feel when I fly. : ) Remember what you do not see can still bring a smile to those who do. Fantastic shot, thanks for reminding me of what I love most (flying) in another way that I love as well.....photography. : ) --------------------------- James : ) Warrior Transition Unit Ft.

Absolutely beautiful shot. I agree about the back lighting, and I love how one set of wings is in motion, and the other set is still. Very neat capture! --------------------------- You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline.

Thank you, thank you again, all of you. I really appreciate your encouraging comments. James: I appreciate your thoughts and I think your comment of "Remember what you do not see can still bring a smile to those who do." will be sticking with me as I take photos. Patti: Thanks for ID on the butterfly and your comment. |

Good details where it counts, interesting frontal POV too.. The wing blur shows movement nicely, tough light but you managed it well. |
