Très bonne idée le noir et blanc pour mettre en valeur le contraste de couleurs de ces deux sujets! V

I can't believe how much I am enjoying seeing a butterfly in B&W. Very well done. ~BV~

It is very unusual to see a butterfly with its full splendour of colour presented in b/w and it works. It actually works so darn well that I have been looking at converting some of my own butterfly shots into mono... but none come close to this one. It is almost as if you shot this flutterby knowing that it would be presented in mono... Stunning work! at all levels!

What a beautiful contrast between the black butterfly and the white flower, while some similarities of shapes can be found. The right image for B&W.

Very beautiful capture Buz, I think in this case the B&W really make some of the details pop! Very nice composition.

You have captured this little fellow beautifully Buz. Superb details too. Exquisite comp & DOF. Big V!

Hi Buz how's it going! Work just takes up too much time! This may well be my first and last retirement project. There is just not enough time for all the things that Gayle and I want to do. On top of all that I wore out the hinge on my lap top and replacement hinges cost $60 each plus paying some one to replace them. Too many parts to fool with! Gayle and I took some good bird shots 2 weekends in a row in Grand Isle and I hope to post a few today.
Breland22-Apr-2007 15:59
Beautiful composition and detail Buz. I can see why you converted it to b&w. GMV
