Description
Here is a fun image of a butterfly in flight. We have a Variegated Fritillary taking a cruise through a Bird of Paradise. The colors and shapes in a Bird of Paradise are very intense and it’s hard to make a butterfly stand out. I desaturated the flower a lot, but it’s still pretty crazy.
In Arizona, the Variegated Fritillary lives primarily in the grasslands. This one snuck down to my neighborhood in the desert.

Russ: Unlike some of your dragonfly shots this is not readily apparent as a flight shot but who cares? This is a terrific capture of this little beauty and the flowers are the perfect complement. I also like your placement of the butterfly in the frame. Exceptionally good work here. >=))>
Beautiful butterfly on a great plant. Really nice detail and colours. I personally prefer not to have stuff cut off along the edges, but that’s just me - this works very well. I don’t think you had many choices here, without going to a larger crop.
Fine image!
I like how no part of the flowers overlaps with the butterfly, and you caught it at an excellent angle. I also like how the colors match. Very nice shot.
