Hello Jitti,
a beautiful butterfly with even more beautiful legs. Its colour pattern is well presented. Great depth of field, exact focus and good sharpness. Perhaps, there is some loss of minute structures on the wing surface due to noise reduction processing; the scales are no more visible particularly on parts of the hindwing.
Best wishes, Peter

So what's the big hairy deal here Jitti! ;)
Great looking little guy, love those zebra-like stripes on the legs and abdomen..
Well exposed with great color, DOF, and details.
I don't usually go in for hand jobs, but this one floats my boat :)
Well done!
Howard

Hi Jitti,
a lovely capture of this cute little butterfly on your arm.
As Howard said shots of creatures on human hands don't usually float my boat but this one is very nice.
+++ Great colours and lighting. Perfect sharpness and great definition. Perfect DOF.
--- Nothing :)
Well done,
Joe

Hello Jitti,
You captured this really well considering the left hand manouvre!! Excellent DOF, most impressive sharp details and lovely colours. I wouldn't say the background is beautiful (!) but it does make the butterfly stand out!

Hi Jitti,

I could never do this with my left hand!! Lovely shot of your arm but the butterfly is much prettier. I love the striped legs. Beautiful markings that you show in wonderful colors and good detail.

Hi JC

An amazing shot - very well 'handled' (I started to write that as I realised the pun). Very good detail and colour.

I guess that it is not he easiest way to shot insects :) This is such a beautiful specie, I wish we have them here as well. The picture shows superb details. This butterfly is a real beauty; I love its colors and shape a lot. Thanks!
Claudine

Hi Jitti,
Super close up shot the detail is amazing. I know this is more information than you want to know but I have to say that you have more hair on your hand than I do on my chest. :)

What a beautiful picture with a very beautiful butterfly! LOok at those legs! Excellent black and white strips! Wow you shot this with your left hand! I woulda be shaking!

Excellent!

Steph

Hi Jitti,
Beautiful hairy hand :D. I think this beauty got attracted to it and wanted to give a kiss. Lovely and difficult to capture image. Very nice Details and DOF. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Jitti, Superb superb and lovely shot. Everything is so clear and lovely focus. Ganesh

Hello JC,
Excellent details have been captured!
Here we can see demonstrated the function of the fake eye, and the other details in the insect are great too...
A well composed presentation and a different landing pad this time!
Greetings,

bonjour jitti
le support n'est evidemment pas ideal mais ce papillon est tellement joli et bien net que cela valait bien une petite publication.

Hello Jitti,
I must say I prefer butterfly shots without showing them on humans, but this shot of H. erylus underside is so good that I can forget the intrusion of human skin. Perfect details, colours and lighting.
TFS and best wishes, Ivan
