Big eye and small insect ;-) I like these butterflies, they're not too shy and like to pose. Great details, every hair is well seen. Also composition and BG are perfect.

Hi Alan,

Wonderful picture with a strong composition and lovely colors. Details are very good and the POV is great. Focus on the head is perfect, but the top of the wings seem slightly oof ... Anyway, this is a fabulous shot and I wish I would be able to shoot like this! Well done & TFS!

Regards,
Pieter
