Description Here is another from the damaged butterfly that was dragging itself across the grass the other day. Not entirely happy with the focusing on the right winf but in a way I guess it adds something, thought I'd post and get a second opinion.

I love how intense the butterfly looks compared to the background. It's really awesome how you did that...

I like the contrast between the two sides of the butterfly.
The strength and beauty of the left / the delicate right.
The focusing is fine...it's still a good shot.

This reminds me of the time my cat caught a monarch...
I made him let it go, and at first, I thought it was dead... Then it started to slowly flap its wings, until it flapped them faster and faster, and it fluttered to the other end of my backyard. My cat made another dash for it, but it had already flown away before he could reach it.

Good for you that the bluriness was on the damaged wing!
But it actually isnt that blured!
I liked it anyway!
The neutral background with main object with vivid colours...I'm a sucker for these kind of pics!

It doesn't look damaged to me... more like it's just emerged from it's chrysalis & is drying out

Lovely shot

hey..maybe the blurring on the wing adds to the fact that it is struggling to get across? hmm..just a thought. i like the colours though

Genetrix205 In reply to Freedomized [2005-05-18 09:01:39 +0000 UTC]

Yes, very true. That wasn't my intiention for the blur, in fact the blur wasnt intentional at all. But I'm glad you have your own interpretation of it, making it less of a photographic error. God I love art! Anything goes.

i see what you mean about the focusing on the right, how did that happen? regardless, a well-done and sad (after reading the description) shot. there is something so tragic about such a beautiful thing as a butterfly being unable to fly.

Genetrix205 In reply to indorock [2005-05-17 08:20:15 +0000 UTC]

Not entirely sure what happened. I initially thought that the wings were in motion when i took the shot, causing a blur. But the botom half of the wing is still in focus. The wing was a bit bent so perhaps my DOF was a bit off. But its also unlikely that it would cause such a blur... hmm. I'm not entrely happy with it but i think it also brings 'focus' to the damaged wing. If you know what I mean.
