Hi Nigel,

Excellent shot and well done on the details.
The composition would be complete if there was less space behind of subject.
The light was giving you a hard time on this one.

A great image. What an amazing butterfly, very easy to pass by.
Some slight OE and I have to agree with 'Fisher' on the composition, but a great post.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Nigel,
this is a wonderful butterfly, looking like an old leaf. You captured it very sharp and with a nice 3D-effect. Very well done, thanks

HI Nigel,
The Comma is a beautiful butterfly.
Good details and POV. As mention some parts are OE,
and I agree with Mike about the composition.
Well done.

Great capture Nigel. Very sharp and clear - one can easily see the C-letter on the wing which gave name to this butterfly. Colours look great and the composition is nice though I personally would prefer a little more space in front of the butterfly.

Hi Nigel,
A very interesting butterfly. He does look like a dried up leaf with his wings folded up. Great job on the detail and exposure on you main subject. reading the notes I understand the exposure . This would be a difficult exposure for any camera. Your have the best part perfect.

You've done well under difficult light Nigel.

A butterfly in disguise! Its wings looks like autumn leaves. I have never seen this kind of butterfly. Probably almost impossible to discover, if you are not professional. Very good picture and informative note! TFS!

That Comma - we call it a "C" - does look a bit tired, too. But so do I.
Big smiley to you for that slightly overexposed document taken from a master of camouflage.
Best regards,
Peter :)
