Pink and Orange

This is a picture of a butterfly I found flying around in my backyard. After patiently waiting for it to sit on a flower, I was finally able to take some photos of it.

Composition:

When looking at this photo, the first thing the viewer notices is the blurred background and the popping subject. This affect can be created by altering the aperture of the camera. Another reason the viewer goes straight to the butterfly is due to contrast. However, this isn't always in your control, especially if you are doing nature photography. Finally, this photo looks more natural because the butterfly is to the left of the frame instead of the center.
