Hello Grzegorz,

Really brilliant shot of the Painted Lady showing beautiful detail and it is in a very nice pose. Lovely background.

Have a look at mine which is very similar but yours is better, they are both on the same flower!

Many thanks, Ulla

Again, this plant and butterfly combination offered you a master shot. An illustration for a butterfly book, really.
Thanks for sharing, MF.
BTW, Today I posted a weird one, I know you will like :)
Regards, Felipe.
PD: I think lights here had to be mentioned, looks excellent.

Hi Grezgorz

What a totally stunning shot, the composition is wonderfully presented and the pose is excellent showing the underside of the wings perfectly, the sharpness of the detail is 10/10 and the colours are beautiful, I can see why you like the Flower so much as it looks as good with the Painted Lady as it did with one of your earlier shots of the Peacock.

TFS Hilary :o)

A truly elegant "Painted Lady" this, Greg.
Great POV, DOF, colours and sharpness.
That flower seems to be the favourite of the butterflies too; I think it was Ulla who captured a whole lot of them lounging on the same flower and posted it yesterday.
Thanks for sharing this lovely image and take care.

Finally, someone who can take an excellent image of a butterfly without missing any of the basic concepts. Excellent focus/detail. Good color and nicely framed with a good complimentary background. Minor nit, I would use the healing tool in PS to remove the light spot in the background upper left. It would also help others to publish the details of the lens and f/stop etc.

Hello Grzegorz,
perfect sharpness and detail, good point of view and DOF. Nearly everything is great.
There´s a little bit background noise but that´s nonserious.
Very well composed in combination with the beautiful flower.

Hi Greg

Indeed now it"s the perfect time to post such a picture, so we call all remember all the great times from the summer that has ended!
Looking back, it was a truelz great summer for me: i graduated college, i had a lot of fun, i took a lot of pictures and it joined TN - one of the most beautiful comunities i ever got to know :) But probablz most important of all of the things i did this summer was make very many good friends - TNers among which are YOU!
Excellent soht here, taken from a really great POV, with super sharp details, lovely colors and impecable DOF. The textures are also fantastic - both from the wing of the butterfly and from the middle of the flower.
Very well framed and composed, too.

Bravo and Thanks for everything :)

Ah Greg, she is a beautiful lady - very attractive, nice and sharp too. One of your better butterflies I think. And that wonderful Echinacea is busy drawing the insects to them...
Echinacea - I have the seeds from last year, so I MUST plant them this summer.
I hope you had a good weekend my friend,
Janice

Very clear and sharp compo my friend.

I like it a lot: composition, POV, DOF, focus, sharpness, lighting, color, framing, background, notes.

I don't like it: nothing to criticize.

Very stunning presentation, indeed.
Thank you and regards... Ricardo

Hi Grzegorz.
I think it is impossible to create anything better. This is really outstanding picture. Captured scene, flower and butterfly make a very impressive composition. Exact colours and light, sharpness and details of these subjects are great also as well as the BG and its tones and blurriness. BRAVO.
Alexei.
