Hola compañeros de TN, unos dias inactivo por problemas en el pc, me he dedicado a correr detras de las mariposas Machaon y por fin una se paro.
Tengo pendiente una toma cenital, proximamente la compartire.

Un saludo.

Hi Amadeo

An Absolute beauty! What a terrific macro shot here!
I'm a bit amazed that you managed to get so close to this butterfly, considerring that you used an 105mm focal length lens, but the outcome is really great!
The side POV shows the beautiful markings on its wings very well and the spot-on DOF keeps the entire butterfly in super sharp focus. The composition is lovely and the colors everywhere really boost it even higher.
Wonderful work in every aspect!

Bravo and TFS

Hi Amadeo,

Your photo is realy great. You did a wonderfull image which is breathtaking as sharpness and as colors. The DOF is very good rendfering very well the texture and the pattern of tghe wings. In the mean time the body of the insect can also be clearly seen. Colors are wonderfull and the blurry background suits well.

Wow the pic is excellent, the diffused BG makes the butterfly stand out. Slightly back lit wings with a correct exposure is always pleasant to watch

Hi Amadeo,
Outstanding shot of this very beautiful butterfly in a classical pose. Very impressive sharpness, colours and details and I like the back lighting which gives the wing a particular glow. The BG looks great. Excellent DOF, POV and composition. Kudos.

Incredible clarity and sharpness! I love the natural colors. The orange and blue on the butterfly's wings add a nice complement to the light yellows and browns. Very nicely captured!

Regards,
Randy

Hi Amedeo,

You have a good collection of swallowtails. This sems to be the best of the set. Excellant frame, depth. good light and fine colours. The moment that you have captured is very refreshing.

tfs,

Subhayan.
