Very pretty with an excellent DOF the POV is really nice on this one. Well done Cecilia. :)

Hi Cecilia,
Great shot. Sharp, clear, neat, with great details. Very nicely composed picture.

The swallowtail is quite sharp and a pleasure to look at. The flower too has excellent lighting, but a bit blurry unfortunately. Nice BG.

Hello Cecilia,
Artistic composition, and I like your use of ambient light to produce interesting light/shadow. Sharp details, and an excellent uniform BG setting off the subject nicely :)
Very well done.

Otra excelente imagen Cecilia con la misma calidad y la gran nitidez de la anterior.
Vívidos colores con buen aprovechamiento de la iluminación.
Personalmente, me hubiese agradado ver la totalidad de la flor, pero es sólo un punto de vista.
Saludos... Ricardo

Another excellent image Cecilia with the same quality and the great clearness of the previous one.
Vivid colors with good use of the illumination.
Personally, I had pleased to see the totality of the flower, but it is only a point of view.
Greetings... Ricardo

Hi Cecelia, you have some truly wonderful butterfly shots. You seem to capture the poses very well and against such beautiful colours. Your composition skills are second to none and your technical skills first class as shown here. Very well done my friend and TFS.

Hi Cecilia.
I like your more charming butterfly picture so much.
Pictured scene is simply great as well as the composition, cropping and framing. Lighting of the shot is wonderful: shadows and lights on the petal are fantastic. Sharpness of the this pair (fine butterfly on so fine flowers) is perfect too. Smoothness and beautifulness of the BG are excellent at high range. My compliments and TFS.
Alexei.
