Wonderful and sharp and well done and makes one see nature is all around us. Posted: 07/10/2024 04:16:17
Hi Barbara, excellent butterfly image, it is sharp, and well placed in the frame, the colour is well handled with good definition in the wings and markings, no distractions with the log or background, allowing all focus to be on the butterfly. Posted: 07/20/2024 11:45:31
Beautiful. I love to photograph butterflies as well. Do you know the name of it? Great bokeh. Posted: 07/24/2024 01:18:19
Very good nature image. Sharp and filling the frame. The lighting looks good too and the branch stands out well without taking over the shot. Posted: 07/24/2024 09:30:07
A very nice butterfly image with clean background. I prefer to increase the exposure value of the butterfly slightly.
