A Shady Rest [Contest Finalists July 2013]
Uploaded: July 21, 2013 17:38:29
It was a hot day at the Chicago Botanic Gardens. Butterflies were either flitting about or resting in the shade. I was grateful to pursue those in the shade, such as this Banded Peacock.
Thanks for looking!

Once one can nail the detail on a butterfly, background becomes EVERYTHING in my estimation. This works on ALL counts. Just gorgeous. #10776183Ann Lyssenko July 22, 2013
Butterfly details are enhanced by the green-blur of the background. Very nice! Ann #10777083Leslie McLain August 29, 2013
