[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Today a quite common (as well on TN)butterfly,but for me it was the first time I had the opportunity to capture this small and colorfull butterfly,after a cold night we had some sun this mornig (unfortunately the clouds invaded again),anyway I could make some nice shots of this orange one,hope you like it and tfw

This is the first time I used the 300mm f2.8 lense on a butterfly from a distance of about 2 meter,unfortunately I forgot my converters at home so I had to crop this image,

Hi Paul,

Hello Paul,

Very beautiful composition. Very good POV, DOF and sharpness. Light and colours are wonderful. Very good blurry background, perhaps a bit too noisy.
Cheers,
Mariki

Hi Paul,

Very good and nice looking photo you did. It makes me think at those water paintings from the time books had paintings instead of photos. Image quality is very good and the soft atmosphere very pleasent. I have to mention the wonderfull way you have presented the insect with its wings pattern and body details.

Congratulations,
Cristian

Hi Paul,
Wonderful shot of this small and beautiful Copper butterfly with lovely colours and markings on its wings. Superb bright lighting and perfect exposure and I like the pose you have captured here on those cahraming flowers. Excellent DOF, POV and composition. Kudos.
