Danaus plexippus (Borboleta-monarca), a photo from Mato Grosso, Center-West

Photographer's Note

1 year (and two months) on TE!

Since I did not have time to celebrate my first year, I'm celebrating two months later haha! It is a very good experience to expose my photos and also to know a little more about so many other places through the photos of you. Thank you!

Danaus plexippus (Monarch butterfly)
The monarch butterfly is native to North and South America and has as its main characteristic its unmistakable color: it is orange with black stripes and some white spots (the butterfly in the photo is probably a female because it is more yellowish and has thick stripes). Despite its size and apparent fragility, it can fly more than 2,200 kilometers during the migration.

Hello Luis,
Congratulations on your first 14 months on TE. ;-) You have been quite successful here, deserving every point you received. This is a very attractive photo with the sharpness firmly placed on the butterfly and the beautiful surroundings getting gradually blurred. The perfect light is a great advantage.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Luis,

It is surprising how time flies and it can seem a shock when you realise how long you have been on TE and how many photographs that you have posted. Still it is a real incentive to share photographs, show your skills and learn from others. Well done for continued interest! You have shown some fine shots during that time.
This is a good example.
The monarch butterfly is sharp and colourful, well set against an oof b/g.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Ola, Luis.

The passing time takes along our life existence in a high speed into eternity.
Some creatures takes longer, some sorter period of the journey to get to the finish line. The butterflies certainly must have knife on their throat from the first day they develop the wings ready to fly. Congratulation on your round plus number on TE!!!

pierrefonds (106836) 2018-08-19 12:39

Hi Luis,

The flowers are framing well the insect. The point of view is showing the details of the Monarch butterfly. The light is giving good colors output. Have a nice day.

macjake (97212) 2018-08-19 15:37

Hi Luis
butterfly photos seem to be quite popular here on TE :)
i'm certainly no expert on butterflies, but I think most people recognize the Monarch. splendid photo, the color combinations or orange, black, reds/pinks, and greens are very attractive. fine post here. cheers
Craig

PaulVDV (57141) 2018-08-19 22:23

Congratulations, Luis with your anniversary of 14 months on TE!
Excellent sharp lateral capture of the butterfly on the flower, surrounded by more red flowers and by the leaves.
Best regards, Paul

danos (110407) 2018-08-20 8:49

Ola Luis,
nice the close up view of the butterfly that fly between the red flowers of the plant.I like the details as the good presentation.

Regards,Danos

ChrisJ (164606) 2018-08-21 4:11

Hello Luis,

Although native to the Americas, we also have Monarch butterflies in Australia. Good color, sharpness and saturation. The pink magenta flowers contrast well with the green leaves. Tfs!

sacimar (38173) 2018-08-21 8:04

Hola Luis Gustavo,

buena imagen de esta mariposa, la composición con las flores es muy llamativa, la gestión de la luz también es magnífica, buen trabajo,

Un saludo,

Sergio

clic (24510) 2018-08-21 8:29

Oi Luis Your choice of a selective focus is a 'studied' advantage for us, the viewers, because it concentrates attention on the fragile butterfly and near surroundings. If you had chosen otherwise, too much sharp details would have cause visual annoyance. Many compliments for your fructiful last year; you are much talented. Abraços

mcmtanyel (60137) 2018-09-06 19:36

Hello Luis,
The butterfly and the flowers are splendid. Well captured! 👍

jmdias (106471) 2018-09-29 7:18

luis

temos monarcas aqui também, mas parece que há tempos năo as vejo pelo meu quintal. espero que năo estejam em perigo, năo duvido que isso ocorra, pois estamos cercados de plantaçőes e os venenos para as lagartas das lavouras pode alcançar toda a parte.
linda vista com as flores e o animal muito bem apresentado e nítido.
voltei de viagem hoje,

abraço

jorge
