Still summer evening

Tonight, I discovered a Monarch butterfly who was sitting very still on a twig in our garden. It was a very calm evening in the last of the summer nights, and this allowed me to shoot a longer exposure and keep this guy a bit sharper and with deeper depth of field.

I backlit him a little using my iPhone and let some of the remaining colour show in his wings. Enjoy.
