Challenge: Insects II (Minimal Editing I*)
Camera: Canon EOS-30D
Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II
Location: Columbus

Galleries: Nature
Date Uploaded: Apr 14, 2007

 Snapped this at the Franklin Conservatory - butterfly exhibit. These little orange buggers are so quick that I'm suprised any of my shots came out clear. I mourn that I can't crop a little off the right. My first try at minimal edit - it's tricky but I love how little time I spend in post-processing!

Editing - Sharpen

Too cool that the Toos are back to back. And of course it's important to note that Mrs Too is ahead of Mr Too... :-)

Lovely color and perfect positioning of the buttergly and flower in the frame. Nice DOF, too.

Love the colors, and the title really fits the picture well. I wish the background was more out of focus, or more green instead of white.

The bokeh on this is fabulous this would have been eevn better if the butterfly was not such a similar colour to the flowers 7

Nice complimentary colors, between the butterfly and the flowers! Only wish the shot was more close up, with less background. *7*

What stunning bokeh. Love the diagonal line created by the way you composed the shot. VERY NICE. I'm bumping this one up. It is just so gorgeous and the vivid tones just PUNCH off of the page.

Gorgeous colors. Too bad the Minimal Editing challenge rules don't allow cropping>> with a little tighter frame it would be even more striking.

Crystal sharp in what appears to be slightly overcast light in the green house. Nice capture, love how the bokeh with the orange flowers to the left brings the composition together.
