Lavender white

by davidwozhere

Our lavender bushes have been in demand with small white butterflies lately so I took the opportunity of some late afternoon sunlight to take some photographs.

There is a debate going on presently about PU text and background colours. This image is a good example. With a black background and at a decent size it positively glows (as it was meant to) but with all that white surrounding it it simply falls flat as everything gets washed out.

Back/side lit to great advantage. Suitably blurred-out background adds punch to this little creature.

Thank you for your kind comments.

Nice capture, David.

Is that a 'hitch-hiker' I can see inside the lower wing ?

Best regards
Peter
