Shooting Tips: Stand about 1 meter in front of the amethyst butterfly design. Use center composition to place the amethyst butterfly in the center of the frame. There is a fence in front of the butterfly, so it's recommended to avoid capturing the fence in the photo, as it may not look aesthetically pleasing.
