A Shady Rest

Description

It was a hot day at the Chicago Botanic Gardens. Butterflies were either flitting about or resting in the shade. I was grateful to pursue those in the shade, such as this Banded Peacock.
Thanks for looking!

Once one can nail the detail on a butterfly, background becomes EVERYTHING in my estimation. This works on ALL counts. Just gorgeous. #10776183

Butterfly details are enhanced by the green-blur of the background. Very nice! Ann #10777083

Capturing the motion of the butterfly creates a still shot of that motion and makes a very engaging image Carol. Congratulations on being a finalist. Ann #10826750
