Description
I was photographing a field of sunflowers, and noticed this beautiful monarch butterfly, stopping along the way to gather nectar in the morning sun. I was thrilled to capture this image of such a beautiful Monarch. What a peaceful, almost magical place to rest, before continuing on the journey. Is there a better combination than a Monarch butterfly and a sunflower? I don't think so! Photographed in central Ohio, USA. Digital textures were added to achieve the fine art black and white finish.

Love the bokeh bg and how the b&w tones and contrasts bring out the beautiful details of the butterfly Sharon!

What a beautiful and tender image you have captured, Sharon! The clarity of your subjects, contrasted with, and juxtaposed against, the fuzziness of the background are, as you intended, isolating them. Your B&W treatment of this image, almost a grayscale, is spot-on. Framing, exposure, use of depth-of-field all come together to create an image that stops you in your tracks...nicely done!
