Default Butterfly
IMG_0681.jpg

Hello everyone! I took this pick at the Birding Center here in Edinburg, Texas a couple of days ago. Just wanted to see what you guys think of it. I know the colors might be a bit on the rich side but I kinda like the over all look and feel of this one. Please feel free to let me know your opinions about it.

Thanks!

Good Morning......Love the butterfly shot!! Coming from a beginner.......I would crop it just a little so theres not so much green....just my gut reaction when i opened it.....just so the butterfly pops a little more. Have a great day!

Default I agree
The cropping could be a little tighter. Just my humble opinion, though. The colors are rich and nice depth of field. Composition is nicely done.

Tighter cropping would help. Those bright red out of focus flower buds and some of the bright areas in the green take my eye away from the subject
