Wow! Great closeup. Looks like the bug is saying, "Hey! This is my turf!"

Comment by PTLParsons:
I notice we are getting more moths than butterflies this time of year. Still a good shot. Would have been better from top side and behind him. That would have added 2 more points for me. His wings are a little out of focus but like that tongue down in the flower. That adds 2 back. Still comes out a good 7. PTL

Comment by Swashbuckler:
Very nice! This type butterfly is usually very nervous. (I can never get them to sit still enough to shoot them!!!) Very good clarity! Score upgrade! 10 Swash

Comment by inspzil:
I have mixed emotions about this picture. The focus and framing are very good. The one thing that sticks in my mind is about how the butterfly is turned so that the wings are not so visible. I thought it was a bee at first. A little better angle to illustrate the wings a little more would've really helped the shot showing more color, clarifying the subject and maybe help the shallow DOF to bring the subject more into focus. Just what I think though - Inspzil

Not sure if this is really a superstition, as it is a belief or tradition. I guess it just depends on which side of the fence you're on, so I'll just comment on the technical aspects. I think the focus is great. Lighting is also very nice, and the angle and framing/cropping are good as well. I might say I wish I could see more of the fortune, but it still gets the point across nicely. Overall a great shot. Good luck in the challenge. ~Hbunch7187~
