Very pretty, Barb. The thistle type pink flower made a wonderful perch for the monarch. Nice bg for both the flower and the BF. :toast:

Hello Barb-

I really like the image! The colors (especialy the pink glow behind the BF), comp and details are very good! :toast: I wish more Monarchs would come through my area. I have only seen a few so far.

Beautifully done, Barb ! A classic pose, everything nice and sharp where it needs to be and a lovely backdrop.

This is beautiful, Barb. The Monarch and flower are wonderfully sharp and the gentle colors and soft light give this a fine warm glow.

I like the overall colors and that bit of soft pink directly behind the monarch Barb.
Great BG, pleasing image! :toast:

Very nice, Barb! Perfect angle and clean background. The Monarch seems is great shape as well. Well done!

Hey Barb,
I totally agree with the comments made so far and would like to add that the positioning of the Monarch in this image is outstanding and nicely balanced.
Well done . . . :toast:
