A Butterfly Day

So I'm reaching into some photos from last spring with this one. I like the comp of it but it was taken right at midday and the shadows show it. I've reduced the contrast as much as I dare but I'm still interested to hear what you all think of it.

Nikon D300s, 24-70mm @ 70, ISO 320, 1/1000, f/4.5, handheld

Thank you for some "sunny, spring time" on a very cold day in England. :wavey:

Nothing wrong with bright and sunny once in a while. The azalea blossoms are beautiful and the BF is a nice ornament.

The light and shadows are not really overpowering and the colors are wonderful.

Beautiful colors and the shadows and bright light are fine, I like the contrast of the yellow swallowtail on those red flowers and just looking at it makes me smile and wish for warmer weathers.
