This is a picture I took two Easters ago when I went home to celebrate the holiday. I shot this in my Grandmother's back yard with a simple Kodak still camera. I like this picture because for me it symbolizes the season of Spring. Obviously, all lighting was natural, with an afternoon sun filtered through tall pine and gum trees and coming from the upper left-hand corner of the photograph. The sun is harsher on the tips of the pink petals, which washes out the flowers a bit. However, I do not mind this because the focus is on the butterfly, with a softer light enhancing the yellow and black of its wings.
