Hi Ivan,
This is one of the finest butterfly captures I have seen in the recent times on TN.
The point of view could not be better.
The focus is truly razor sharp, the colours are amazingly beautiful and the details are as perfect as perfect can be.
The yellow flower within the frame supplements the composition beautifully.
And that is what I would call the real "bokeh" BG :-)!
Regards.

... Jag är tillbaka från NY med min nya kanon. Jag kommer att åka direkt till Skåne eller Kristianstad och sedan till Öland. Åker tidigt på lördag med bil och hoppas komma fram på eftermiddag. Tänkte om du har tid att kanske fika eller något liknande på lördag och sedan på sondag morgon ta en fotorunda? Vad tycker du?

Hi Ivan,
I really like those yellows. And you've taken a pretty sharp picture. Admirable with the 300 mm.
One disadvantage with the tele in stead of macro is the larger depth of field. Now the background takes a lot of attention. I tried a little workshop. Let me know what you think.

Hi Ivan

What a superb macro work! And its taken with a long prime and an converter...huh...what an amazing result!
I really love the impeccable sharpness you managed to get on the entire butterfly and also the spot-on exposure you managed here. Due to that, all the colors are vibrant and splendidly saturated!
The DOF is also exceptional and blurrs teh BG superbly, fact enhanced also by the great bokeh of your excellent lens.
Charming composition and good note (i particularily liked the fact that you stated the distance to the subject :) )

Bravo and TFS

Hi Ivan
This is a very clear shot of this butterfly!
And their bright yellow makes honour to their name. It creates a great contrast with the background.
Great focus and sharpness on the image.
I like very much also the composition made with all the branches and other flowers.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

I remember this butterfly from last year's TN postings. It is very attractive Ivan. The clearness and the colours are amazing and the details are nice and sharp. The veins in the wings really look great too. Well done

deze is bijzonder fraai,
mooie foto, goede pov en een schitterde details, probeer ook eens een hogere F en een langzame sluitertijd bijvoorbeeld 1/50. Probeer het uit, je zult versteld staan. goed werk
