Hi Marx,isn't easy to comment a perfect pic like that!!Wonderfull details and colors and perfect choice of point of view,just my best compliments,have a nice week,Luciano

Hello Marx
Oooh for the lovely butterfly. It looks like it got a little red light at the tip of its antennae. I like the bearded little fella against the dark back ground. Strange, but lovely flower as well. Nice colours too. Rehanna.

Hej Marx,
bardzo czyste i ostre zdjęcie motyla, którego jeszcze nie miałam okazji spotkać. Ładna kompozycja i stonowane , prawie jednolite tło a doświetlenie lampą wydobyło wszystkie kolory z motylich skrzydeł.
Gratuluję dobrego zdjęcia
Pozdrawiam

Hello Marx,
This is a lovely shot with a perfect composition and exposure. The use of flash did not alterate the colours and the result is very natural. Do you use a special flash to reach this result?
Best regards,
Catherine
