Butterfly

Taken in Victoria, BC

Honestly, it's poorly composed. The Butterfly is dead center, and there is just too much dead space around it, with its associated clutter. The background needs to be more out of focus as it's just way too busy, and those completes with the subject for our attention.

Unfortunately, butterflys don't always pose very well, but I also didn't attempt to crop this. I took dozens of pictures in that garden. A very interesting place to visit.

You need to do the basic composition when to take the picture. Check DOF and the background. Leave a little room as a fudge factor for PP.
