Hello David,
Nicely done. Well composed in good natural lighting...
Very good details; no blown highlights. The texture is very beautiful due to the light..
Good online presentation in terms of developing; for example the sharpening...

Hi David,
This is impressive! They are so tinny and always on the move that it is difficult for me to take a good picture of them. This is very sharp with good composition and perfect exposure. We can almost feel an expression on the butterfly's face :)! Thanks,
Claudine

Hello David. You are right about the similarities with mottled emigrant that we have here too in Malaysia. I like the sharp capture of this butterfly in unique perch on the beautiful flower. Perfectly executed shallow depth in closed wings. I like the framing and thanks for sharing. Best regards. Jusni

Hello David,
Very beautiful capture of this White butterfly on a pretty flower and against a fine soft background. Impressive sharpness, nice light and lovely colours too.
TFS and regards, Ulla

Hallo David
Splendid image. It is indeed a feast to the eye and cannot go unnoticed. Great colour and clarity captured on both the butterfly and the purple of the flower. I like this image a lot. You have captured the fine lined detail on the edge of the butterflies wings with great skill and manner. Best regards
