Very good diagonally oriented composition, like the colours, excellent detail and DOF (BG nicely blurred). Direction of light lights the tips of wings and antennae, would have been nicer if placed so as to emphasize whole head and esp. the eyes(head and wing a tad dark, flower is in the shadow). Admittedly it is a bit difficult to move the sun though ... ;-)
Cheers,
Gabi

At least, I know what you mean by that Gert. There are not so much butterflies this year I heard on the radio that this is the result of the last 2 hot summers in the Netherlands last 2 years. The butterflies are very late here in the low lands. Your citron butterfly is a nice one, the composition is well taken, the pov is just perfect even as the dof and the great dof. Very good job my friend,

Superb shot Gert!
There plenty of them in my garden. In Poland they are calle Cytrynek (Mr Lemon) ;)
Colours are great, details and exposure perfect. I would maybe cut it a bit more from below.
Overall, excellent shot.
WELL DONE!

Gert, the focus of this picture is incredibly sharp. The DOF is of the best I have seen, both antennae are in perfect focus. Thanks for sharing your pictures with us.

*POV:5, excellent, lens was on the same level as the butterfly.

*DOF:5, f14 really makes a difference.

*Composition:5, for me the compo is perfect, a little bit of the flower, enough space around the butterfly but not too much. Perfect.

*Details:4, excellent but there seems too be some noise in the BG??

*Exposure:5, perfect, f14 and 1/100s ... you needed that tripod. :)

*Colors:5, nice and saturated. The colors in the bg are stunning and I like them a lot.

*Note:4, always good enough from your hand.

Scale 1-5, 5 is the best.

Hello Gert,

I like this picture a lot and let me tell you why. The composition is just perfect. The details on the butterfly are very sharp and I like the way her wings look like a leaf. Beautiful. I have two tiny nits. On my monitor the BG is a wee bit grainy. Is that really the case or should I return my monitor? ;) I think your border is too thin and I don't write that because you think the black frame on my duck is too thick. :) I really think it's too thin. I assume you didn't want to sacrifice more space because the subject would become smaller that way, but I think you have to choose. Or you don't use a border at all or you use a substantial border. My 2 cents of course. :)

Always in a friendly way,
Pieter
