Played with a few butterflies today

I took a film camera to the Arboretum to finish out a roll, but also carried my 1DX. The butterflies were thick in the demo garden, so I simply stood there and started shooting. I've been told that I get my images too dark, so I actually tried what I would call "high key" on these to get them a bit lighter. Let me know what you think. Oh, by the way, these have minimal LR PP work (clarity, a bit of contrast and sharpening and sometimes a bit of exposure correction).
It's not the usual wide-open wing spread that we like, but I found this interesting.

This guy was backlit, and his translucent wings were quite nice.

I love these big boys with their black-fading-into-blue wings.

This poor fellow looked like he'd run with Ma Barker, but I thought him pretty nonetheless.

Look at your LR export. The images look "off" in their thumbnails as the JPEGs are not using the sRGB colorspace. You should create your own LR User Export Preset where you assure the pixel resolution and the sRGB colorspace is default and automatic when the preset is used.

Actually, I've done that. Thank you.

I have filed #3 under my "Photo as Art" collection.
(no worries, the entire collection is only in my head...)

Beautiful set of flutterbyes
Thanks. I love these little guys. They're actually too fast for me, but sometimes I get lucky.

The brightness and the out of focus backgrounds of #1 and #3 make them standouts for me. Very nice!

The brightness is so not like me. But it does work! Thanks, Linda.
