Chance Encounter

Posted by AG (London, United Kingdom) on 18 July 2006 in Plant & Nature.

Not sure where this Meadow Brown butterfly came from. I do believe I was attempting to photograph an elusive bee, missed him and had this chance encounter. I like the sheer confusion Nature paints at times.

* Great nature shot! The only minor distraction is the blur on the butterfly from a foreground stem.[reply]Michael @ 2006-07-18 13:32:17
* This is really beautiful! I love the subdued tones and focus-shifts.[reply]jane @ 2006-07-18 14:18:46
* Now that's just wonderful. Everything is so perfect here. I like those thistles back there as well. I'm probably posting a few more shots of those this week. These look like another species.[reply]Dave @ 2006-07-18 15:00:38

* Great composition and nice colors. I like it.[reply]Karl Baumann @ 2006-07-18 21:27:36
* oh man.. such a dreamy shot.. Really . Awesome[reply]SSH @ 2006-07-18 23:47:57
* I think you have outdone yourself this time...which is saying something because I admire nearly everything you do. The colors, the excellent DoF, and the turmoil of nature thrust into this image. This butterfly has a lot of action/activity to deal with. It looks like the wind was blowing given the apparent movement at 1/500 sec. This is very well done.[reply]Jeff @ 2006-07-19 05:15:30
* Hi AG!
Nice capture. I like the blue/purple flower in the right that is really sharp and nice.[reply]Erik - HedinMedia.com @ 2006-07-19 08:34:52

There’s enough summer zipping thru in this one to bring on an allergy![reply]AG @ 2006-07-21 09:53:54
* Nicely captured.[reply]Nishe @ 2006-07-23 16:16:39
* Thanks, Nishe. I will thank the butterfly for you![reply]AG @ 2006-07-24 10:01:35
