Perfect capture of these little beauties Bente. Perfect use of limited dof blurring the background and the colours are spot on as well as the composition.

I was waiting to the butterflies... I had seen so many beautiful exemplars on TE, now it will be very nice to get them all in one Nature site.

Thank you for the good note and the lovely and extremely sharp image Bente, both butterflies fill the composition beautifully...

Welcome to TN, nice capture of this pair of blue`s ,nicely isolated from the background they stand out well, glad you were not tempted to rotate them to balannce up the picture. even with F16 the DOF is very tight, you have both sets of antenae in focus but the front of the flower bud is forward.This is a good post hard to capture normally so shy, nice one.

Siamese Twins?
Bente, this is beautiful, I like the opposed diagonals formed by these two b'flies. This is a splendid shot!

Excellent work as usual! You've captured these two very nicely indeed. The colours and detail are splendid, and the DOF is well chosen too. My only suggestion would be to experiment with rotating the image a little - I know this was close to reality, but a different angle might add some extra spark to the composition! Good capture :-D

Amazing. The detail is excellent and both the subjects are in crisp and sharp focus. You seem to have captured the iridescence in the wings. This photo has a good composition and the notes are imformative.

Bente,

Hard work pays good dividends. Everything in this photo is perfect. DOF master with this take. Nice story too. The black and white contrast on the face and antennae are intriguing. Double WOW. Thanx for sharing.

Looking quickly on the thumbnail, it looks like ONE butterfly. Beautiful composition of a tender moment. Technically perfect, so, the only thing to do is to contemplate. A rewarding shot after a day out. Very well done, Bente.

Love this... it's a flawless capture, Bente! It reminds of a song way before my time..." Dancing Cheek To Cheek" errr...I do realize they aren't exactly pressing cheeks together! Super photo.
