 Butterfly exhibit. It's dark in there, and I forgot to bring a flash, so everything I shot ended up being unintentionally arty.

What a lovely capture. The colors are pretty and vibrant. I love the back lighting on the butterfly.

What a pretty thing - love that curling proboscis and the fine detail on the head and legs. The colors fairly shout!

These days too much emphasis is placed on massively crisp images and more often than not on non-studio aka non-controllable subjects being in that studio lit and sharp category. Bah humbug!

With a 36MP CMOS and a classic 105mm Macro with VR you have managed a beautiful narrow DOF and enjoyable composition. The proboscis is nicely curled and the eye is sharp enough. The flutterby is also the central subject in-line with your focus plane and that has made the overall effect from left to right in the picture work. Beautiful! I wonder what it would have looked like at f/2.8?

Arty definitely works here. I really like the shapes and how everything from flowers to leaves to actual butterfly wings look a bit like butterfly wings. :)

Well artsy is nice too! I love the colors and shallow DOF. It just plain works.
