Butterfly at the Park.

Maybe this butterfly will be liked a little more than the one at the splash pad. LOL
There's a little boys head in the top left. Is this distracting at all? Any comments are welcomed.

The boy can be just slightly distracting as well as the blue ball (looks like a ball) at the nose of the butterfly. Other than that it looks pretty nice. The butterfly is exposed nicely and is sharp. I like this one much better. good job!

Thanks mpf777!

It's very hard to photograph a butterfly and worry about the background though. They dont want to wait around on you. LOL =) I didnt really pay that much attention to the blue "thingy" before you mentioned it, but now it's more distracting than the boy's head. ''/ Oh well! Just keep trying, I guess. =)
Thanks again!

Ditto mpf777's comments.

Actuall AnnaJo I think you've done rather well. As you said, butterflies don't often keep still long enough for the photographer to check the background.

Thanks Wineman!

Appreciate the comments guys.

I can totally agree with that. I had a chance several months ago to photograph a large moth in one of the trees at my house and overall they were pretty good but it seemed like I always had some back ground object I wished was not in the frame. Some day I will reach that point where it just comes naturally.
