Hi Gert,
Excellent focus and exposure, difficult with a white subject. Nice OOF background showing up the burrefly details well. Many thanks.

Another excellent close up. It is well composed, very sharp and detailed, the DOF, Lighting, POV and BG are superb.

Hi Gert,

How beautiful this butterfly is! I don't think I have seen this Black Veined White before. Easy to see where the name came from. I love the shape, the colors, and the pretty flower. Excellent as always.

Hello Gert,
Long time no see!
What a striking shot of this butterfly in perfect symmetrical pose! White wings perfectly exposed, striking against the purple flowers and green BG. Amazing details throughout.
TFS this beauty. : )

Hi Gert,
Outstanding shot with such immaculate sharpness and sharp details. Very skilful use of natural lighting and perfectly exposed image with beautiful colours and a precise DOF. The BG looks so special and you have indeed captured a classic pose here. Excellent POV and composition. Kudos.

Hi Gert

What a lovely "flashback". You nailed this Black-veined White butterfly. Both the insect and the flower were captured in exquisite and ultra sharp details. As usual the OOF and well removed BG enhances the subjects. I like the little white lights this butterfly got on the tip of its antennae and one can see it was not much disturbed by you moving in for the photo as that proboscis was imbedded deep inside the flower sucking nectar. Excellent exposure control and great colour balance.

Well done MF and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Wow! What a fantastic shot!
Perfect DOF that keeps the whole butterfly tack-sharp while still blurring the BG into a non-distracting smudge!
Brilliant composition and an original POV.
Great range of colours.
Very well done Gert!
Thanks,
Joe

Hi Gert.
Lovely old times :))) (Sony A100, Minolta "beercan" and so on.) Excellent close-up with precise exposure and white shades reproduction. Classic work of legendary lens and skill master. I like pictured scene at whole, lovely rich colours, excellent DOF and perfect sharpness and details of the subject. Well done and TFS.
Alexei.
P.S. I always study your technique of shooting and use various equipment including flash. Now I construct diffuser for my manual macro ring flash for getting less powerful and softer light (if I cannot get -5.0eV flash compensation :))). May be I will tale something interesting.

Hello Gert

A lovely vibrantly coloured image of this white.
The composition is well done,I like the diagonal look.
Wonderful illumination,the shot is well exposed with well saturated colours.
The black vein of this butterfly really highlights the detail and texture of the wings.It helps outline it and makes it stand out well from the beautiful BG.
Very good POV and DOF.
The vivid flower adds a nice element to this shot.
Nicely done.
TFS
