Catching the Light

Nicely captured.

That is very nice Jim,

The only thought that crossed my mind was whether you needed quite so much of the flowers, I'd be tempted to crop about 8% of picture height off the bottom edge.

Thanks John and Dave. I like this image but I struggled on how to present. Is this about what you suggested Dave.

[Dave Humphries]

Is this about what you suggested Dave?

Yes, it is - although seeing it now, I might clone out the two 'disconnected' buds on right.
I suggest that because I don't think you should crop any higher (e.g. to remove them by that means).

Cheers, Dave

[Ziggy]

OK, thanks for the feedback.

What else can I say that Dave hasn't covered...very nice capture...how close were you from the butterfly?

Maybe three-four feet?

Not much critique here.

Simply, I like it and I can see the change in the second image.

And it does make the butterfly more of "the hero".

Thank you.

I like the original. It reflects the light on the entire flower, which to me, enhances the entire photo.

No matter what you decide, it's a beautiful capture!

[Ziggy]

Thanks Carol.
