Artist's Description
This red admiral butterfly (Vanessa atalanta) on a Mexican plum tree reminded me of a jet plane coming in for a landing, even though the butterfly was drawing nectar from the plum blossoms and wasn't moving.
About Steven Schwartzman
I've been involved with photography since the late 1960s, when I got my first real camera toward the end of my two years in Honduras as a Peace Corps math teacher. From the 1970s through the mid-1980s I went through a phase of black and white infrared photography, often even in 3-D. My current period began in 1999. Call me a nature photographer and you won't be wrong, but because there's not a lot of majestic scenery where I live (which is Austin, Texas), I've gotten interested in portraying the native plants of the region, especially our many wildflowers. Along with them come occasional butterflies, birds, and other small creatures. I often think of all these subjects, even the plants, as if they were posing for portraits, so you could...

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

Steven Schwartzman replied:
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!
Steven Schwartzman replied:
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.
Jake Danishevsky

Thanks, Jake. This edge-on view offers something different.

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.
Steven Schwartzman replied:
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.
Lisa Knechtel
Gorgeous colours, composition and clarity. L
Steven Schwartzman replied:
Thanks, Lisa. I've occasionally attributed the clarity in some of my photographs to having been a math teacher.
Deena Athans
Fantastic crisp details.. great macro !! L/F :))
Steven Schwartzman replied:
There was no way to get everything sharp, so I focused on the butterfly's proboscis and the front-most parts of its head.
