I've made some research in the web. Here is the "Trauermantel", in English "Mourning Cloak":
http://mamba.bio.uci.edu/~pjbryant/biodiv/lepidopt/nymph/mcloak.htm , yours seems to be that one: "Black Swallow Tail"
http://www.npwrc.usgs.gov/resource/distr/lepid/bflyusa/sc/895.htm . But I'm not an expert!!
Cheers, Markus

Beautiful butterfly excellent captured. I don't agree with Teunis. It's not what we call a "Trauermantel" (Grieve Coat). They look different, don't have the small tails and have a white band around the wings. I think it's a species we don't have in Europe.
Regards, Markus

Yes, Larry, but the summer here sometimes lasts into November.

Larry--Oops! I just noticed that this isn't the exact shot, but the elements are essentially the same.

Larry--Here's the original. After cropping it, I used "Layers" and a Gaussian blur to soften the background and then added a light fill pattern to the blurred selection. It was more manipulation than I would have liked, but the subject and the foreground are very nice, and he wouldn't fly to a more photogenic location. I hope that helps . . .

Excellent capture George, like the background effect, but what do you mean tweaked (adjusted?) (and how?)
Thanks.

Nice composition. Sometimes photos are like paintings, other times they are more like drawings, as in this case. Good work Cecilia
