Monarch

Took this one at Cypress Gardens near Moncks Corner SC last weekend, in their Butterfly House. D200 18-200VR, handheld, on-camera fill flash, ISO400. Any thoughts on the crop?

Trying to figure if or how I would crop this and others may differ but I like it the way it is. Butterfly has lots of room to look up and to left. Great job for handheld. The 18-200 is nice lens

Neat shot! I can't see a crop that I would like better. Good depth of field.

The "duotone" image is striking and right on the rule of thirds!

Jim,

I like the sweeping blade that the butterfly is on. Great colors.

The background makes the Monarch rule the shot. Great color and sharpness. Like the curve of blade of grass, wouldn't crop. Handheld? That is an impressive lens and photographer.
