This area was complete natural lighting although dappled from the trees that surrounded this little opening next to the pond. There was a window of light landing on these flowers that was too beautiful to pass up. Seems the butterflies felt the same way.Equipment
Nikon D 7100 with a Nikkor 72300 mm G ED VR All natural lighting no tripod handheld and no flashInspiration

Like editing was done in Lightroom adjusting for contrast sharpness and saturationIn my camera bag
