Hi Mircea,
Wonderful butterfly! Exuberant colors!
Excellent sharpness and contrast.
Pleasant composition.
Congratulations for the wealth of details.
Thanks for sharing!
Friendly,

A gorgeous capture - such a delicate pose barely standing on that tiny bud. Wonderful dof and great bg.
Rich, warm colors and great details/sharpness.

Hi Mircea,
Beautiful image of this butterfly.
The lower wing reminds me of a stained glass window.
Fine color, focus detail, POV, and DOF.
Sweet composition with the Bfly on the bud.

Salut Mircea,

Inca o fotografie de exceptie de la tine! Flututrele este bine incadrat si spatiul liber corect distribuit. Compozitia este redusa la minimum si aceasta simplitate o face sa aiba un bun impact. Imi plac culorile vii (in special ochii albastrii) si contrastul. Expunerea a fost foarte bine controlata iar focusul impecabil. O fotografie de exceptie cu detalii superbe! Multumesc!

Numai bine,
Eddie
