Hi Seyfi,

Beautiful macro capture of a lovely butterfly with white tiny flowers! The light green blurry BG works well here, as it gives wonderful contrast to this bright rust-colored butterfly. The sharpness and POV are perfect. The DOF is very well maintained.
Wonderful composition!

Paras

Superb DOF achieved Seyfi!

Hi Seyfi,

The blurred background is putting in evidence the insect. The macro view is showing with precision the details and colors of the Marsh fritillary butterfly on the stem. The subject is well framed. The late afternoon light is enhancing the colors. Have a nice day.

Merhaba Seyfi.
Great macro picture.
Fine details and colour. Pretty composition.
Greetings and TFS.

Hallo Seyfi
I am amazed with the various butterflies you are able to photograph. Each time another specie and each time just as pretty as the previous. You are very fortunate to be able to capture so many. I have to sneak up on the ones we find here and the most of the times they are the same type. Your image once again speaks of pride and love for the subject.. Colours are warm and inviting, just as the image as a whole. It was a pleasure to stop by such a beauty. Best regards and thanks for sharing.
