Beautiful lighting. A very nice shot. Thanks for posting.

What about the lighting in this one, another basking pose and
angle-composition theme (to reflect this representative of the
"Angled-winged Butterfly Family").

I liked the way the dark cracks in the bark lead the eye to their
respective subject/shadow counterparts. I have about a dozen of these to
play with. I just couldn't decide (and it seems neither could the butterfly
decide), just which shadow created the most interesting shapes and angles
as it struck about a dozen different wing-angle and body-angle poses while
watching its shadow.

Though the high jpg-compression badly polka-dotted the colors in the wings
it's the composition that I thought might be interesting.

Another very nice shot. I love the texture in the bark. I'm not
entirely sure about the composition as I don't know what it was
cropped from, or indeed whether it was cropped at all.

First one is great, the shape of the wings is clear.
Try a square crop on it.

The second one has too much detail in the bark and my eye is atracted
by the shadow too much.

You know absolutely NOTHING about composition. If your own photography
wasn't proof enough, thanks for proving it again.
