Ciao Peter,
splendida macro, eccellenti POV e composizione sulle diagonali, l'ambientazione con la pioggia e l'utilizzo del flash danno brillantezza a questa meravigliosa farfalla, molto buona la definizione, bellissimi i colori e BG.
TFS.

What a beautiful butterfly you have captured in a butterfly park, Peter!
For me, these are unique and uncommon species because we don't see them here in India.
Superb POV, focus and colours.
TFS and regards.

Ha Peter,

Een mooie opname van deze vlinder,jammer dat het blaadje achter de vlinder net een bruin kleurtje moet hebbe (leid iets af),maar over het algemeen een welverzorgde compositie met een goede focus op de gehele vlinder,groetjes

Hello Peter,

This is a very nice close-up of the butterfly. You have chosen a fine composition for the image with the edge of the leaf creating a diagonall of the image. Butterfly is sharply shown and wings colors attract wiewers atention. As you have chosen a suitable DOF the insect is shown in very good sharpness.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

Hallo Peter,
Je moet al veel geluk hebben om alleen maar met natuurlijk licht dergelijke foto te maken.
Zoals ik al eerder schreef ben ik ook een keertje in Kwadendamme geweest en ik herinner mij dat er weinig licht was.
Ik vind het heel positief dat er in achtergrond geen te donkere partijen en flitsschaduwen zitten. Kortom het aanwezige licht speelt mee.
Verder een goede scherpte en een leuke compositie.
Thanks for sharing

Hi Peter.
Amazing in every aspect shot. Both butterfly and leaf as scenery are wonderful. Details of the charming insect cannot be better. Coloration is reproduced extremely perfect. Neutral BG supplements pictured beauty excellently. Bravo. Superb close-up.

Hi Pater

Great macro here once again from you!
The parallel side POV again helped you in getting exactly what you wanted - excellent sharpness on the subject with a shallow DOF so that the BG will be nicely blur.
The outcome is beautiful, with gorgeous natural colors and sharp contrast on your subject.
A worthy presentation for this Blue and White Longwing!

Bravo and TFS

Hello Peter
I paged through your portfolio and could not pass this one. This is indeed a beauty. I am not sure if this is a male or female but this is a most elegant looking insect, with wonderful colours and details. The combination of rich and warm colours are striking, and the green leaf with the droplets one really puts that extra oomph into this already special image. I cannot find fault. The composition, depth of field, sharpness, focus, framing and all other I forgot to mention is just spot on. This worth a well deserved smiley. Kind regards.
