Congratulations on being featured in the Fine Art America Group "Images That Excite You!"

I'll have to tell you it really was exciting to find (and manage to photograph) this red admiral on these Mexican plum blossoms.

That's the best way to appreciate a butterfly: in close.

Congratulations on your feature in our group, I Love Nature Photography - celebrating the best of our natural world!

I appreciate your feature, Dawn. I was fortunate that this red admiral found such a picturesque perch and stayed there long enough for me to take some pictures.

L Steven, I am totally impressed with the quality of your art! It was hard to choose one image to comment on for you. I love the composition, color and details in this amazing image. Thanks for the description. I did not know the name of these lovely blossoms. You did a great job of capturing the whites so that they do not appear to be blown out.

Greetings from Austin to Austin, Linda, and I appreciate your comment on my photographs. Since you're local, I'll add that I took this picture at McKinney Falls State Park this spring. As for not blowing out the highlights, one way I avoid that is by always photographing in RAW mode; that has made it pretty rare to have to discard an image for having a part of it overexposed.

Gorgeous colours, composition and clarity. L

Thanks, Lisa. I've occasionally attributed the clarity in some of my photographs to having been a math teacher.

Fantastic crisp details.. great macro !! L/F :))

There was no way to get everything sharp, so I focused on the butterfly's proboscis and the front-most parts of its head.
