Beauiful shot! It actually looks like pretty much the same butterfly as the one I took a picture of a while ago (except different angle). I think it even has the same colour and pattern. Very nice, crisp and sharp photo. Love the detail. Great work!

Beautiful presentation. Colors are great and focus is crisp. A bit more DoF to include the flower would also be nice. A little more room at the bottom of the frame might be good. Excellent photo! ~Jon

a Beautiful macro shot, good colours and good sharpness/DOF. The lighting is therefore well done. I like also the composition, thanks the pose and place in the picture. Well photographed.

Hi Murugesan, thanks for your kind words. At this position it was imposible to frame and focus on the eyes. With butterflies the most important thing for me is the wing details. Thanks again for your input. Much appreciated. Kind regards. Umit
