This is one of the last shot's I got of the "Mothers Day" butterfly, before I finally managed to give her, her freedom. (when she finally went she tried to get back in!)
There is no pp except I did crop to take away part of the window frame. The reflection was caused (I think) by the double glazed window.
Any tips or constructive criticism are welcome :)
I really appreciate all your comments, thank you so much. I'm only sorry I've not got time to respond. I do read all the comments and will try to answer any questions you have about my posts :)
strange.. i can imagine a rather funny, bt smiling face on the butterfly. to me it looks like a face on wings :) n thats a beautiful shade of blue u've got as background..

@Nishana Minhaz: lol :D this is through the window and the sky was beautiful that day.
Excellent capture, did you let her back in?

I like this very much and somehow the window reflections add to the image. I like your composition too. Well done.

Fantastic capture, Mary!! So simple really but the "echoing" reflections really gives this that sense of freedom as you titled this. Love it!

Beautiful shot indeed. But I wonder how the reflection is two while the butterfly is just one? ;)
