Hi Marx,
Good effort under difficult lighting conditions. I know how hard it is to get the right depth of field in these situations, but the colours are excellent.
Thanks
Alan
Hello Marx,
Na tego motylka polowalam w oranzerii, ale nie chcial rozwinac skrzydelek. Prawie Ci sie udalo, moze odrobinke mniej ostre na dole, ale to drobiazg, kolory i ramka bardzo dobrze dograna do calosci.
Pozdrawiam
