 I took several shots of this butterfly but couldn't quite get the right focus before it would flutter off...
Well, I wish I had a better final cut, but this will have to do.

Levels, cropped, saved for web.

Thanks for the comments. I think that with more patience and time, I could've done better .

You know, this was such good camouflage, that on first viewing I didn't see it. Have adjusted my rating accordingly as this is a good sharp image right on target for the challenge.

the big stem in front is very distracting. i would have used smaller apperture, made everything in focused thus making camouflage more dramatic. imo.

Great for this challenge, it took me a while to find it!

nicely captured, background is too "busy" for my taste, but hard to control that, as the stick that covers part of the wings, overall very good photo

Suits the challenge perfectly! The picture quality itself is great, too. However, the crop is off - you have that white band on the right side and I think more could get cropped off bottom as well to give this a stronger composition.

great example of camouflage, but the composition is quite cluttered, substantially detracting from the focus of the picture.

Well done

Which one is the leaf?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/16/2005 07:26:14 PM
Very nice, my only nit-pick is the out of focus branch running across the photo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/16/2005 02:47:32 PM
Wow! Good job! The insect's camouflage is very good. Some of the twigs or branches are a bit blurry, but it's still a good picture. Good Job!
