I had to fave this on color alone. The clarity and detail in the shot are amazing. You not only take excellent pictures, your eye for the alignment of the shots is great
@danig These are coneflowers Danielle. They come in may varieties, most commonly different shades of purple. There are also some white and newer versions that are in the orange family. T
@sarasdadandmom Thank you so much for your critique and commentary on this shot. It's one of the rare times I have been able to capture a butterfly. They are so quick. This one happened to land in a beautiful patch of Coneflowers. My lucky day!!
Very interesting how the wings of the butterfly reflect the general shape of the petals. Perhaps one day the flowers will flap their petals and fly away with the butterflies. Nice thought, though, isn't it...? A great shot, of course.
richard made an interesting comment about the shape of the wings. really made me took more closely at the the photo. i was looking at the colors and thinking, 'how pretty' - this is one of the values of 365, i believe. raises our awareness. thank you, richard.
