That's a nice composition and good focus on eyes and antennae. I wonder what butterfly it is?
Enjoy your trip home!
Best wishes, Ulla

Hallo Sky,
beautiful point of view, again, and well composed with respect to framing, colours and light. Species identification is (most probable):
-- Phyciodes tharos
-- family: Nymphalidae
Schöne Grüße und guten Flug,
Peter

Hi Sky,
wieder so ein tolles Bild - und so passend für Deinen eigenen Take-off.
Wohin in Deutschland geht denn die Reise?
Du hast bestimmt Verwandschaft und Freunde hier und freust Dich sehr alle zu sehen.
Ich freu' mich mit Dir und wünsche Dir einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt in good old Germany.
Es wäre ja so klasse wenn wir uns auch mal sehen könnten, aber Deutschland ist groß und Deine Zeit bestimmt mehr als verplant.
Also - mach ein paar schöne Bilder hier und hab' viel Spaß, viele Grüße

Hi Sky

This is indeed a splendid work!
You managed to capture this beautiful butterfly in a great moment.
The DOF is probably the element i enjoy the most here. It's very shallow, having the butterfly's head in full focus and the rest in partial focus or quite OOF. The composition is also a beauty, just like the framing and exposure.

Very well done!
Bravo and TFS

Great frontal shot of this Nymphalid that I have never seen before, but could identify thanks to the DOF. Nicely presented

Hallo Sky,
sehr schönes Schmetterlingsmakro aus einem ungewöhnlichen Blickwinkel. Diesen Falter kenne ich leider nicht. Sehr gute Schärfe, gute Tiefenschärfe und sehr schöne Farben. Danke für das schöne Foto.
Ich wünsche Dir einen guten Flug und schöne Ferien in Deutschland. Das Wetter soll hier ab Mittwoch auch wieder schön sein. Sollte es Dich nach Ostwestfalen verschlagen, könnten wir uns mal auf eine Tasse Kaffee treffen. Ich wohne in der Nähe von Paderborn. Peter wohnt in Spröckhövel (zwischen Bochum und Wuppertal), Thorsten ist mit Rheinwasser getauft und wohnt in Köln und unsere liebe Sabine wohnt im schönen Allgäu, genauer gesagt in Memmingen. Wen ich dann auch nicht vergessen darf, das ist der zweite Peter. Der wohnt in Wien.
Lieben Gruß aus Ostwestalen

Hello Sky
A rather interesting capture of this dandy little butterfly. I like the variation in POV as we normally see these beauties either from the top or from the bottom only. This facial view also brought out the details on the antennae very well.
While critiquing is very subjective I realise that some people might like the shallow DOF, but personally I feel it is a pity that you did not have slightly more light to work with in order to bump up the f-stop even a little more, say ±f/16 to achieve just a tad more DOF. The composition and framing are great and the colours are fine.
Well done and TFS.
Regards
Loot

PS. Enjoy your vacation and I hope you bring back some great photos to share with us.

Hi Sky,
This is a wonderful capture. What I like most is the pose of the butterfly. He seems ready to take off actually :) You caught very nice details with a great POV and DOF. I like this BG also. Have a wonderful trip and come back with nice German pictures :-)

Hallo Sky,
ungewöhnlicher Blickwinkel, spannendes Ergebnis!
Sehr guter Augenkontakt, perfekt fokussiert.
Angenehm zurückhaltende, subtile und naturgetreue Farben.
Mit Dank und besten Grüßen,
Peter

P.S.: Schönen Urlaub in Good Old Germany, und Gute Reise!

Hi, Sky.
Nice shot. Very good exposure. I recommend here another POV, because here you need more DOF, which i guess was not possible.
