good focus point on the eyes though a deeper dof would make this shot a great capture, it has a nice feel about it. tfs

Hi Marx,
Excellent, original point of view. Definitley worth a try from this angle. A bit more light and a smaller aperture would have got more wing in focus, but it has a lot of character as it is. Thanks. Alan

Hello Marx. Excellent perch in stunning sharp detail. I like the way you silenced the background. Regards. Jusni

Hello Marx,

Your photo has an unusual but very interesting POV. The portret of the butterfly looks very good. Insect's head is very well shown with sharp details. Colors of the photo look very well with the background matching well with the main subject.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

Pozdrawiam,
