Hello Andy, great shot of this Gatekeeper. I love the contrast and colours, the focus is spot on and it's a very good composition - in this case I like the central composition - I think it works with the butterfly off diagonal. I have no nits for this shot, very well done.

This one is very nice and has lovely colors. Great DOF and sharpness. I belive the colors would be shown even better if you adjusted the exposure +1/3. I dared a WS to try and convey my point. This is very nice Andy.

Wow, this is a wonderful butterfly shot Andy! Colors are stunning, details are razorsharp and the composition is fantastic. The blurred BG is stunning. Did you do anything to it in pp-ing or is it purely natural? Well done on this beautiful picture. TFS!

Very nice post.
Lately I am see a lot of people in TN that tend to make lights and colurs very spectacular but quite artificial, I know it is a question of taste.
In this one, they are strong and saturated but keep very well the natural feelling. This is what I like to do when postprocessing.
Thanks for this photo and for your interest, yes I am well, hope you are ok too, Andy :)
Best regards, Felipe.
