Hi Chi,
It looks quite similar with some of our European Pieridae.
As usual, sharpness and definition of the subject is perfect.

Regards, Petru

Very good photo of a Pieridae!
Perfect on details!
Excellent os colours!
Very good BG!
But I think it's not a Pieris napi (Linnaeus, 1758), but a Pieris brassicae (Linnaeus, 1758), known as Large White in eglish.
This specie is the common cabage butterfly, the world most wide spread specie.

Chi, BEAUTIFUL! Perfect ALL OVER... You must be so pleased with this shot, congratulations,
Janice

great shot. Good colour. Sharpness, detail and clarity are spot on. Nice work. Thanks

Great shot Chi but I'm mafraid its just a plain old cabbage white (Pieris rapae) based on Butterflies of Australia by Braby. Another useful guide for Sydney is the Butterflies of Sydney area at http://www.usyd.edu.au/macleay/larvae/sydbuts.html.
Good composition and exposure and your usual high standard of sharpness.

Hi Chi,
This one is a real beauty! The vivid colors are amazing. Very fine detail. Your control on the DOF is excellent here. A great OOF backround. This one rocks!

Damn, but this is sharp, excellent post

Breath taking details! Perfectly balanced composition. Deliciously subtle colours. A masterpiece of nature photography - a perfectly naturalistic document of that butterfly species as well as an outstanding piece of art. Congratulations!

Excellent work Chi Liu, super. Perfect light and color, very sharp and clear. Very well contrasted against the dark green, smooth BG with the second OOF purple flower adding nicely IMO. Very well composed also. Very well done! Thank You.

Hi, Chi.
Very nice capture. Superb details on white. Excellent composition, sharpness and DOF.

Wonderful image Chi! I love the detail in the feathers of the butterfly very delicate. Excellent depth of field and POV.
