Comma for comments!

The apples have fallen from my tree this year, and the butterflies are loving them. Managed to photograph this comma the other day. I quite liked the pic. Hadn't realised they had such amazing colours on them.

That's lovely - the colours in the shot all seem to harmonize.

And the detail is wonderful

Very nice shot, but I think I would turn it 90 degrees anti-clockwise.

I agree the colours really do work well together.

I must admit I usually try and avoid getting the wings running either straight up or straight across, I'd try for a sort of 45 degree angle or thereabouts and I always try to give the subject some space to look into or move into so perhaps less centrally placed. Having said all that I would still have been pleased to take this shot.

Very nice. What I like about it apart from the harmonising colours is the shadows the wings have cast on the fruit. Adds to the image imho.

Butterflies photographed 'head up' can sometimes look like a dead sample stuck to a pin, but I think you have enough contrast and shadow there to get away with it.

Alternatively, if you have a bit of spare edge space with the original you can rotate it to any pleasing angle (Custom Rotation) then crop to size, that is the advantage of digital.

Thanks for all the comments. It has been interesting reading them all. It has really made me look at the photo in a different way. Jane
