I took this photo because there was a swarm of butterflies and this gal was just on her own chilling and relaxing. I connected with that vibe so much cause my health and the pandemic had made it where I had to watch others live and be okay with it. This butterfly was just living its best life.Editing
I cropped out some of the other flowers to center the butterfly and flower.In my camera bag
Normally I have a 18-35mm lens, a 75-300mm lens, a tripod, and lens cleaner.Feedback
Get out of Auto mode and never check your photos when you take them. I always just take the shots without worrying whether I got what I wanted, then I wait a minimum of 48 hours before looking at them. This gives my brain a chance to judge based on the photo in front of me and not what I saw.
