Autumn Leaf

A very appropriate time for this butterfly to eclose. This is commonly known as the Autumn Leaf butterfly.

Very, very beautiful. The yellow of the background, blurred as it is, separates your subject perfectly, both colourwise, as well as DOF-wise (of course). And I love the presence of that bit of diagonal line in the upper righthand corner!
