Very nice butterfly. Nice composition and colors.

Nice shot!
I like the colours and POV here, framing is very good too. However I think the bfly needs more contrast, especially on it's body. The colours on it are a kind of wash out.
Anyway, well done on this one!

Nice shot and presented well diagonally Ricardo. Good detail and color. Luv the transparent wing you've shown so well. There seems to be a slight haze over the head and thorax of your insect though. Well done.
Thank You!

Hi Ricardo,
A flawless composition that is very beautiful. The colors are well saturated. Detail is very sharp, and your control on the DOF here was excellent. Very nice work!

Ricardo: esta mariposa parece plastificada, estas alas parecen impermeables, me gusta su transparencia, acabo de ponerla de fondo en mi pc en la oficina (tenia tu Danaus Gilippus 1/2), esta mariposa me encantó, no solo por su hermoso color café dorado, sino por los detalles de sus venas que tu has captado muy bien, disfruto de tus mayores acercamientos con las lepidópteras. El color y la forma en que posa sobre la flor destacan favoreciendo la composición. Insisto: tu debes tener un lugar secreto de las mariposas ;) espero descubrirlo algún dia.. Saludos Cordiales. *Ninfa Urania*

yes nice one Ricardo,
I am full agree with the workshop of Howard, but even you did a good capture, I like the composition, well done.

Nicely captured image of this lovely butterfly Ricardo.

Colors, details, POV, exposure and composition are great.

I especially like the translucent quality of the wings which you have also captured well.

Good job, thank you!

Ricardo, you have some beautiful butterflies in your country. Here in new Zealand we can only see these coloured beauties in Butterfly Zoos.
I like the yellow and brown one here on the yellow leaf. Very sharp and colourful. Well shown, thank you
Janice
