Great shot. I'm very impressed. Nice pose of the butterfly, sharp and good DoF. Colours and composition worthy of merit.

Howard
This is a beaut, the backlighting falling /shining thru the wings is very nice.

Great picture Howard - very detailed,perfect dof and very nice colours put together in a very nice composition. - Thats the way to do it.

superbement capturé ce magnifique papillon...belle couleur, délicatesse sur la fleur...légerete bien representee...tres belle macro...bravo BI

Stunningly beautiful capture of this swallowtail. Great ballet posture, good sharpness and DOF (I'm amazed you did this with just F-4), nice colours and nicely placed in the frame. Pity the background is man-made, otherwise splendid ;-))

What a beautiful shot! Colors are excellent. Only one question, why not centered a little bit?
Congratulations.
Jean louis.

Off centered composition, sharpness of detail, light falling at an angle and good DOF enhance the ballet-like pose of the butterfly and contribute to the grace of this image.

Very nice shot Howard, BG isn't very nice.
Great details on the fly.
Well done.
TFS.

Love this capture with the wings up and ready for a quick takeoff. The colors are so vibrant and nice. Well done.

Très féérique comme prise de vue. On sent la légèreté du sujet. Bravo Howard.

Very feeric like catch of sight. The lightness of the subject is felt. Great shot Howard!
