A close-up photograph shows a butterfly perched vertically on the tip of a slender green plant. Its wings are open, predominantly black with prominent pale yellow-white markings in the form of large, irregular patches near the edges and smaller spots towards the centres. The background is smoothly blurred in cool tones of grey and green, creating a soft, out-of-focus effect that emphasises the sharp detail of the butterfly and plant. This effect visually echoes the arc of the butterfly’s wings, drawing attention to its body and the tip of the plant on which it rests.
