Beauty Among the Milkweed by taffy

Beauty Among the Milkweed

This little beauty had clearly seen some better days, given its ragged wing. I decided to crop so that the raggedy part would not be visible and played with the crop balance to try to sort of mirror the shape in the milkweed. This one is about beauty. It's a stark contrast to the monarch setting for the one in my extras album (taken on High Island on Sunday):
Wonderful details captured in its legs, eyes, wings. Can't help but wonder where all those beautiful wings have carried this little beauty.

It's a lovely shot - but somehow I find the gory one more engaging. :)

A clever bit of editing. Paying attention to the shapes worked really well. Fabulous detail around the head and the legs with the pollen on.
