Thanks Karenmoen!

I appreciate you adding pertinent information regarding the species in my photo. I should have looked it up before I displayed the butterfly. I'm learning much more than photography since I bought my new camera! I'm finding out the species names for my subjects, thanks to better informed people than myself on some photo group websites! LOL!

According to my Butterfly book this is a male California Dogface Sulphur. You captured it perfectly.

The lighting is really nice on this lovely image. I like how the body is in silhouette.

I have been chasing these yellow butterflys around for the past month trying to get a good photo of one. I am not good at the metering in my camera yet, so the highlights were either blowing or the photos were coming out too dark. These photos I took yesterday are the best I have made. Thanks for your compliments. After all my hard work in obtaining them, it is nice to know others are enjoying viewing them.
