Comma Butterfly

[johnaalex]

Sadly comma butterflies are not frequent visitors to my garden, but at least this one was happy to pose for the camera!

The first shot was taken with my D850 with my 80-400 plus a 1.4 TC.

I had enough time to swap lenses to my SIgma 150 f2.8 for the second shot.

What a beautiful butterfly!!!!! I really like the second shot, but is it cropped? The framing seems a bit tight..... Did you try rotating the second one to a horizontal? It would be easier to appreciate all the details in the image....if it didn't look odd being rotated.

As others have said it is a beauty. We don’t see any here.

Karen, yes I did crop the second one and maybe I was a bit "heavy handed".

And that is your choice. Beautiful image! I just like to imagine a buttlerfly flying "free" and not quite so confined! LOL!
