Re: The Butterfly is almost superfluous.
one of those ' she was there for just one click shots' that occasionally work well for me.

Re: The Butterfly is almost superfluous.
Very nice image, Brian - I like the soft lighting and the lines the leaves

Re: The Butterfly is almost superfluous.
This is really something special...the holes in the leaves just add some harmony to the theme

Re: The Butterfly is almost superfluous.
Nice shot, Brian. But I'd say your title is WAY off. Well done.

Re: The Butterfly is almost superfluous.
It can be surprisingly difficult to get the perfect angle on a butterfly. Too square on and, unless you get the right background, it looks like a dead specimen in a collection.
Too far off square and it looks distorted.
You have managed a nice balance between the two extremes with this shot.

Re: The Butterfly is almost superfluous.
Brian,
Great shot, FYI it's a moth (typically wings flat rather than folded up over body).
I agree with Dan, without the moth it would just be an image of a leaf with holes. The lighting in this is very good and your focus and DoF is very good. One suggestion, in the lower RHC, I would remove that small red and white object.
Also, the eye spots should make it easy to ID the moth if you choose to do so.

Re: The Butterfly is almost superfluous.
The colors of the leaf contrast nicely with the moth. I like your composition here, I might have put the moth more to a thirds line but that would have cut the point of the leaf out to the right. I like what you did here.
