    Default Shy Butterfly Hiding

    In my previous post I framed a crodocile in an unorthodox manner, well, at least the British thought so. It inspired me to post another unconventional framing, in this case of a butterfly where I chopped the head of. Does it work for you?

    As always you'll find a detailed analysis on my blog page.

    This composition 100% works for me! (though the image could be considerably sharper imo though)

    What a cool take on what could have been "just another butterfly shot". I love it! It makes you really focus on the wing pattern which is awesome.

    Thanks for the feedback, Iguanasan: that was exactly my thought, I've got plenty of "just another butterfly shot" so I was thinking how do I make it different.

    Marko: agreed, sharpness could be a couple of notches tighter.

    As he said.
    Reality is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there!

    I think works because the head is well and truly not shown. It doesn't look cut off, it looks totally meant. The background bokeh also helps this greatly.
