Hi Ricardo,
You have captured this one very well.
But it would have been much better if you could facus on the insect a bit more and make the BG blurred.
THx.

Hi Ricardo, what a brilliantly coloured butterfly. You have captured it so well.
But it is not a good idea to place your subject in the centre in the frame, so I have done a workshop to show you.
The colours are good, well done...

A pesar de el hecho de que el background está apretado, el color amarillo de la mariposa está parado en el frente muy bien.
Podría ser más agudo, pero no me incomoda.

Saludos, Petru

Hi Rocardo,
this is a beautiful butterfly with a nice yellow colour.
It's a bit soft but well composed and good POV.
I like the the DOF too.
Well done.

Happy smiley, you deserve it - Xplorator

Hello Ricardo,
Excellent macro,
Very good lighting, sharp and detailed image, very nice colours. TFS

The yellow against the green is striking Ricardo!

I think your signature would have looked better in the same color as the butterfly.
But, this is still a very good macro.
Thanks,
Dave
