[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Good evening,

I have to apologise I have no idea what species of butterfly this is, so if anyone can help me on that I would appreciate it.

Shot in the butterfly house at Blenheim palace.

I liked the soft feel of this shot it seems to me like a water colour painting.

Image cropped slightly and resized in Photofiltre.

Many thanks for taking the time to view my image

Kind regards Helen

Hello Helen

A very airy and atmospheric shot you have created with this DOF.
The pastel colours and your lighting add to the effect.
A lovely composition.

Nagraj has identified this butterfly for you, Helen.
Your shot of it is pretty good. The selective focus on the subject gives the impression of softness.
The colours too look quite natural.
We see this butterfly almost everywhere in our country.
Keep shooting and all the best.

Ciao Helen,
bellissima macro, ottimo POV per una messa a fuoco selettiva molto interessante, molto bella la composizione con i colori dalle tonalità delicate, molto buona la definizione dei dettagli dell'occhio, molto bella anche la luce.
TFS.
