Long lens in the butterfly room


Another one from the Zoo's (very lovely) butterfly house. I'm very happy with the close framing, and the composition is even OK, but I can't help thinking it's a bit ... green. The wings' hue is basically green, and only the red dot really stands out. Hmm, not sure. I partly really like it, and wonder if it's better than I think, and maybe the red spot is the reason. But mostly I think it's lacking something. Oh, how I wish I knew what the hell I was talking about.

Lesley replies: I love the soft colours of this photo. OK, so it's very green, but it is a butterfly after all, and they inhabit a green world! The touch of red just lifts it and gives it zing. Now you know why photographers' partners wear red jackets!!
