A familiar subject can look quite different when viewed from an unusual angle. It’s a lesson that every photographer is taught early on, but I need constant reminders to vary my approach.
I took this shot of a Viceroy butterfly (Limenitis archippus) yesterday while lying on the ground and pointing my telephoto lens up toward the sky. The perspective caused the shape of the wings to be different and permitted me to see the butterfly’s legs in a way that was completely new.
Not all such experiments are successful, of course, but I think that this one worked out pretty well.

Great photo Mike 😀
Yes I like that, bit different.
That’s a view of a butterfly that I’ve never seen. Nice shot.
great shot- it’s amazing what we see when we look at things from Another Perspective!
Nice response. I do enjoy Another Perspective a lot!
I love the sky background. I’m glad it did not fly away before you got settled on the ground.
