Hello Stavros,
Lovely capture of this Swallowtail, sharp, with fine BG and well presented.
I wonder if this is the second generation?
You probably see them in May on Crete as well.
TFS, best wishes, Ivan

Hello Stavros,
A lovely Swallowtail. Very nice shot with great exposure and sharpness. Beautiful color saturation and blurry background that add dimension.

Hello Stavros,
A classic shot of the Swallowtail, very sharp showing details and colours very well. I wonder how common they are on Crete? Nice composition and it really stands out from the background.
TFS, Ulla

Bonita macro Stavros con buena agudeza y foco, con apropiado F4 que brinda el foco sobre al mariposa y el OOF necesario sobre el fondo.
Los colores son intensos con correcta definición de los negros.
Personalmente y sin conocer la imagen original, yo hubiese rotado ligeramente el cuadro (20° por ejemplo) para romper con la simetría y centralización de la mariposa.
De todas maneras, otra interesante presentación.
Gracias y saludos... Ricardo

Nice macro Stavros with good sharpness and focus, with appropriate F4 that offers the focus on the butterfly and necessary OOF on the bottom.
The colors are intense with correct definition of the black ones.
Personally and without knowing the original image, I have rotated the frame lightly (20° for example) to break up with the symmetry and centralization of the butterfly.
Anyway, another interesting presentation.
Thank you and greetings... Ricardo

Hello Stavros,
Your photo is really vibrating!
Not only for the contrast of the buterfly's colors, but as well creates a kind of cinetism on the tiny spots lights over the intense black of the wing.
For the background, it seems it have a kind of movement or motion blur.
The details are good on the whole body of the insect.
The composition is a simple one but works fine to show the insect.
Best regards,
JM
