Great focus and dof. Beautiful details and colors. Isn't it strange how their little bodies are furry?

Hi Nicholas,
Splendid shot of the beautiful Small Heath. Amazing sharpness and such vivid colours. The OOF green BG and the white flower sets up a nice tone to the shot and the butterfly stands out admirably. Great POV and DOF and a Superb composition. Kudos.

Hi Nicholas,
I like your shot so much, very good sharpness and brilliant colours.
Are you sure it's a Small Heath? I'm not an expert in Butterflies but I would say it's Maniola jurtina - Meadow Brown. Perhaps you like to check it out.
Anyway it's wonderful, thanks and greetings

Hello Nicholas,
truly a fine capture of this butterfly. The green background, the white flower and the brown tones of the butter fly match really well. Only remark: it's a Meadow brown (Maniola jurtina).

Marvellous. You managed to get a good shot even with f/5,6 - not easy at all. Great colors and detail, the only "error" is the grass on the right.

Very beautyful.

Hello Nicholas,

Wow! What a wondeful picture with warm colors! Great composition and excellent mastering of the exposition... I'm just wandering if with a smaller aperture like f/8.0 you were able to get both antennas in focus...

Anyway, your picture is delightful and I like it alot!


Great job and TFS,

Michel

Very nice presentation, with beautifully saturated colours and great details. Lights are strong but still elegant. Good work, MF, my compliments.
PD: I would clone out the grass at the right not in the one for TN, but in the one for my personal gallery :)
