Shadowy Butteryfly

This silhouette of a butterfly was captured in my backyard on a brisk fall day. The outline of the butterfly can be seen against the sky and the green of the leaves is pleasant against the blue of the air. The light on the leaves gives the the photo a warm sunny mood. The light source was almost above the butterfly which caused the leaves to catch the light and the butterfly to be dark. This photo appeals to me because butterflies are seen as light loving and this one is in the shadows. It is quite a simple photo. The leaves of the tree also frame the butterfly with shadows.
