Once again from around the house.... I was moving very slowly towards him for taking some closeup shots of this guy when he suddenly decided to take-off from his perch atop the drumstick flowers. All that I could do was to click away hoping that I would be able to catch this colorful butterfly in flight.
This photo was taken on October 17, 2009 using a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XS.

beautiful composition!! it looks to me that not much of butterfly's detail is visible but the shape of the wings seen is very interesting..

Even though the butterfly is not sharp, it imparts the notion of movement and I like that a lot.. not everything needs to be tack sharp, and this is a perfect example.. the composition is beautiful, the bokeh is superb.. beautiful treatment you've given to the image.
