Flower Photo Competition 5 2016 : Entry Number 36

Congratulations to this Flower Photo Competition winner! Having this monarch butterfly centred and out of focus is wonderful. There is just enough clarity, so that the observer can make out that this is a butterfly. The colours and in-focus flower are beautiful.

Nina Bradica, Thank you judges so so much, I'm so honored to have won first place among all these beautiful photos. I took this photo in October of this year at the Long Island City Riverside in NY. I was walking along the path and this beautiful Monarch Butterfly caught my eye. I captured this beauty with a Canon EOS Rebel T4i with a EFS 55-250mm Lens.
