52 Oct 22 Comment I am very partial to black backgrounds, and I admire your patience in rendering this image the way you have. The butterfly really pops out from the background. I too noticied that the antennae to the bak seem to disappear except for the tip, which is a little disconcerting, but I think it would be an easy fix. Oct 17th
52 Oct 22 Comment I think the Mantis looks like he is suspended in amber, but remains very much alive. The edges are so dark I can't tell for certain where the frame edges are, but I do get the feeling that it is cropped too tight on the left and the right. The back leg being out of focus is a bit of a probmen im my opinon. You might try to use the Radial Filter in LR to increase the contrast and clarity to see if that makes it look sharper. Oct 17th
52 Oct 22 Comment The crop feels too tight to me as well. Also, in my opinion the subject should be brightened up a bit. In the newest updates of Lightroom, you can select the masking tool (round cirecle on the right) then choose "select subject" and it does a masterful job of making the selection. Then all you have to do is move the exosure slider a bit until you get the Booby more separated from the background. Oct 17th
52 Oct 22 Comment I think this image would make a perfect holiday greeting card. The chipmunk is sharp and catching him posed on branches with red berries was a stroke of luck - a decisive moment. I agree with the suggestons the others have made. Increasing the exposure will brighten the image and I might also suggest tweaking the White Balance a bit to see if it enhances the image. See what you think. Oct 17th
52 Oct 22 Comment To me the butterfly looks sharp and you have captured it on a perfect flower specimen. So often they are on flowers that are partially spent. I think the background complements the subject very well and is not at all distracting. My only suggeston is to lighten the thorax and abdomen a bit.
This is not a Monarch butterfly. It's an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail.

52 Oct 22 Comment I think you have captured a very sharp portrait of this guy. They behave similarly in my backyard and I have yet to sucessfully capture an image, so I know how quick your reaction time had to be. I like the way he peeks around that tree because it suggests just how cagey they are as they pop out from behind cover. Well done. Oct 17th
52 Oct 22 Reply Thanks for pointing that out, Pam. They look like artifacts, which is really puzzling as that is usually a result of post-processing, and I did so little to that background.
I wish I had seen that before I posted it, but I guess I was in too much of a hurry.
