Thistle and Friend

[NKP68]

I was attracted to this subject because of the contradiction. Strong thorny plant, soft virtually defenseless butterfly.

The focus seems very good. The colors and textures are nice. It seems as if it on the verge of being blown out in the pinks of the flower. Pretty good shot.

good lighting angle and nice bokeh going on there. I do wish the butterfly were a bit sharper though.

Me too n8. Very shallow DOF I guess I was lucky to get the head in focus.
Some days these guys just hang around and others they are almost gun shy.
Thank you.
