Greetings,

Here is a recent photo of a Tiger Swallowtail that was perched on a Zinnia in my back yard. I was pretty happy with how the photo came out. Comments/critiques are welcomed.

Techs: D7100, f/5.6, ISO 1250, 1/1000 sec, 300 mm HH cropped about 75% from original

Gorgeous, with lovely colors and a nice tilt to the flower and the butterfly.

Lovely colouring and an excellent dof choice, Charles. I like the vivid sense of movement which you've got at this angle.
