Fake Flowers, Real Butterfly, Pt. 2 - TNY_2436

I really like this shot of a tropical milkweed butterfly (Lycorea halia cleobaea), also known as the tiger mimic-queen taken back in 2019 using a borrowed Canon 6D (as it had better high-ISO performance than the camera I was using myself at the time). This was at the Haga Ocean butterfly house in Solna Sweden which have a no flash policy which necessitated the use of higher ISO levels than what I need to use when shooting with flash.

 

The flowers here are plastic, but I honestly believe the scene works great nevertheless and the combination of pink and orange is much less of an issue than I would have guessed.
