Hi Scott, what a green shot!! And you chased it with your tripod too. I'd have thrown it away by now! So well done on your capture, TFS

Hi Scott!

Fantastic macro. Quality is perfect, every detail is sharp and well visible. But most of all I like composition. Butterfly has got almost the same colour like leaf and looks superb. Spots of sunlight on BG leaf are also excellent.

Hi Scott,
I think it's amazing how much these resemble leaves, it's a real wonder of nature that something can be this well camouflaged. It's a great shot, excellent exposure against that bright light in the background. Beautiful tight crop with excellent detail, great colours. great shot.
Cheers,
Adrian

Hello Scott,
It is a strange but interesting effect from an image where all elements are different shades of green...
Well composed image, with good details... The butterfly looks exactly like the leaf it is sitting on!

Una excelente macro en sombras con muy buena nitidez y colorido, que muestra el nivel de mimetismo que puede alcanzar la mariposa.
Atinado encuadre bien apretado (como personalmente me agradan).
Saludos... Ricardo

excellent macro in shades with very good clarity and coloring that shows the mimicry level that he can to reach the butterfly.
Accurate very tight framing (as personally I please me). Greetings... Ricardo

Hi Scott,
A really great capture, better than if posed in a beautiful flower. Wonderful color and texture. Maximum details!

PS. I captured one of the same species with the same way to hide

Hi Scott, a great shot of this Common Sulpher. Your hard work certainly did pay off. I like the way it is blending in with the underside of the leaf. Good colours and good use of the fill flash to give great exposure. Good textures and back lighting. First class work, TFS.

Great capture, it's hard to tell where the leaf begins and the butterfly ends! Our sulphur butterflies are bright yellow and fly in ridiculous patterns that are impossible to follow. Excellent post, Scott!

HEllo Scott,
very nice capture, the butterfly almost blends in with the BG, but the sharpness on the subject and the OOF BG lets it stand out very well. THis is a very beautiful macro composition.

Incroyable! Scott.
Merci de nous présenter ce beau specimen avec une note très intéressante. Il vous a fait travailler fort, mais le résultat est superbe.
La couleur pâle à l'arrière plan fait ressortir le sujet principal. Félicitations.

Scott,
I like the way you filled the frame here. He matches the leaf so perfectly. In fact, even his markings look like holes in a leaf. Cool backlit halo effect here. Great job,
Scott

Scott,
I like this photo...especially the butterfly part due to the sharpness and 'print' on the wings. It would be a nice decoration for an designer's object.
Well done
TFS
