Hello Victor,

Excellent details in this little fellow!
The wing pattern is well reproduced, the fine light makes the colours stand out so nicely...
A fine balanced composition, DoF spot on isolates the subject from the back!

Hi Vicma!

I like this colourful picture very much. The lighting, colour management and composition are fine. The colour of the flowers suits the butterfly and the background very well. From my point of view, this background is a bit too uniform and has a unnatural aspect. But this is very personal.

Kind regards

Markus

We call Monarchs Plain Tigers in India, Vicma.
They are basically the same genus.
The plain brown BG in your capture lends splendid support to the subject in highlighting its colours.
The lantana flower on which the butterfly is perched is also a fine component of this beautiful composition.

Hello Victor,
with well controlled flash you created a well composed image with rich natural colours, and an impressingly well supporting, gradually darkened deep background. The Monarch residing on Lantana, presented with a good sense for imperial luxury.
With thanks, and best regards,
Peter
