Hello Nicholas,

What a good photo you have taken! Image qualityis excelent starting with the rasor sharp details and till the excelent color rendering. I like very much the way wing's texture can be seen. There is a nice contrast between insect, flower beneath and background.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

Hi Nick, this is sharp enough to shave with..the colours are really excellent, the definition is also first class. That background is perfect for this image, it sets off the yellow and browns on the butterfly very well. Nice work... regards h

Hello Nick,
This is a fine closed-wing macro of a female Common Blue that is browner than most. Excellent sharpness against a fine oof natural green BG and well composed on the yellow flower.
Had rain all day: no chance to take any shots and it'll be rainy all tomorrow as well.
TFS and hope you have a good Sunday,
Ivan

Hi Nick,

It sounds as if you can just decide to go out to shoot a butterfly and they are there. Not so here. A beautiful Common Blue and I love the pose on the flower. Colors, details, textures, lighting are all superb.

Hi Nick.
Great shot of this little beauty. I like scene a lot. Charming pair (cute butterfly and so fine yellow flowers) create a wonderful composition. I am impressed with sharpness and details as well as colour reproduction of the insect image, impressive wide DOF and nice blurriness of the BG. I also like soft lighting. We usually have strong sunlight. My best wishes and warm greeting. Well done.
Alexei.

Nice capture of Polyommatus icarus, species not rare in TN gallery but here presented in very nice way. I like colouration and composition of the photo. Note is rather short but includes all important details about the species :)
All the best from Poland,
