Hi Nigel,

Well done on this capture and composition.

The edges behind the subject are "cooked."

Hi Nigel,
Excellent composition and framing on this shot. The colors and detail look excellent to me. I like the backlit halo effect on the wing tips. I think it looks fine. Great notes with this great shot!

Hi Nigel,
Beautiful creature well captured under difficult light conditions, with lots of detail, e.g. the eye, even though it was in the shadow. DOF may have been slightly increased as I think you could have held a lower shutter speed to increase the f/stop number. In any case well done!
Regards,

Nigel, lovely bg and colors.

I like composition and saturation too.

Excellent dof - the whole butterfly is in focus and the bg is soft.

Besides, great sharpness.
