Hi Adrian!

Indeed, it's a spring picture, and therefore more seasonal. The colours and the patterns are superb, and your point of view highlights them at best. Maybe the main subject could be a little bit sharper.

I don't know much about butterflies, but it would be interesting to know if this one theoretically still could live...

Kind regards

Markus

Hi Adrian,
This is a spectacular looking species with amazing colours.
The sharpness isn't bad on the whole,but I think you might have got slightly more DOF by taking it from slighly further back.
Still,an amazing shot though.
Cheers & TFS

Hi Adrian.
This caterpillar is so photogenic. And you managed to create a wonderful shot of this beauty. Nice scene, excellent DOF and details of the insect and stem.I like soft lighting and rich colours. Smooth BG is perfect addition for the main subject. Well done and TFS.

Hello Adrian,
A fine close frame-filling macro of the caterpillar of P. machaon taken from a fine POV with good sharpness and colours against a fine neutral BG. A nice reminder of summer and thanks for sharing it.
Have a good weekend,

Witaj Adrianie
Niesamowicie piekny okaz godny pozazdroszczenia. Bardzo podoba mi sie jakosc tego zdjecia. Mocne kolory az wychodza z kadru... i tak ma byc. Obraz ostry i tlo dobrze rozmyte. Nie znam Twego aparatu, ale zaraz mu sie przyjrze. Wiem, ze aparat nie robi zdjecia - tylko autor :), ale ... zobacze.
Pozdrawiam serdecznie - Roma
