[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is -I believe- a small common blue butterfly [Zizina labradus]. First, I was not sure why it landed on a senescing flower, but then I realized that there were some water droplets on the flower, so I thought it landed there for the droplets.....

From now on, I will start posting some of my works with square format.....

Hope you like this one.........

Hi Benyamin,
Well done on the composition & details. Interesting pose as the small b-fly holds on to those thorny tips :)

Great shot! Outstanding DOF really makes butterfly stand out. Sharp focus and excellent details. Well managed exposure giving just the right light on subject. Nice background. This looks good in square format.

Hi Benyamin,
Outstanding shot of the common blue. Very neat and sharp details with nice colours. Prefcet lighting, focus, POV and DOF. I like its pose and the smooth BG which presents a nice contrast. Very nicely composed. Kudos.

Hi Benyamin,

a great sense of fragility in this shot! Excellent POV and colours, the perfect blurry background really enhance the whole image. Good work!

Hello Benyamin,
Wonderful composition showing this lovely butterfly on a thistle and all in focus. It stands out very nicely against the soft green background. Sharp details and nice colours too.
TFS and regards, Ulla

Hi Benjamin,

I really like the square format - and the wonderful frame. This picture is so beautiful it would look great in any treatment. Gorgeous butterfly and flower - wonderful colors - fine details - and a glorious background.

Hola Benyamin,
Preciosa la presentación de bella composición, gran nitidez, con luz y fondo muy agradables. Saludos

Hi Ben,
so this is your common blue, a very nice picture wiht nice DOF.
The subject is well islolated from the BG.
Good details, nice colours and well composed.
Well done.

Hi Benyamin,
Excellent capture of this butterfly!
I like the light appearance of it, it seems almost floating on the air, and just touching the dry flower.
It's very good the great aperture used to blur so beautifully the background.
I like also the composition made and the presentation used.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

Hi Ben.
You have pictured a very nice scene. I like composition of the shot: alone flower with cute butterfly is looked excellently as well as the pictorial (simply amazing) BG. It is so interesting: only f/2.8 but DOF is very well. I don't know why but colours of the butterfly are not looked naturally. TFS and my best regards.
Alexei.
