This shot was taken in a garden that blooms every summer. When this happens lots of butterflies go to the place, as well as other insects.

Great color and contrast. It is amazing how the butterfly appears to look straight into the viewer's eyes. Well done. Regards,

Outstanding image!
The vivid colours makes it to have a great visual impact.
I like your POV and the uncommon pose of theh butterfly, totally frontal.
Excellent the DOF and the composition made here with all the elements.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.

Hi Livio,

What a different perspective this is! It looks like he is diving into the flower. Wonderful details and colors.

Jane

Well this is a first time perspective done with a butterfly. I like it, your subject has nice clarity. Nice website Livio, you should also concider some way for people to select and order a print. :)

Hi Livio

Another very beautiful shot and composition from you!
I really like your idea here, placing the flower and butterfly off-centered...it actually makes it more appealing :)
The colors here are amazing - very vivid standing out superbly from the creen - at both the subject as well as the BG.
The focus is also spot-on and the DOF used is exceptional!
Terrific frontal POV and impeccable sharpness!

Bravo and TFS

gr. jaap

Hi Livio,
Well composed, with excellent color saturation.A unique POV. Detail is sharp, and the well controled DOF keeps your focus on the Butterfly. Your new site looks great! Glad I found the english link. That made it very nice to view.

Sorry I have been AWOL from the site. I started my own photography business on the side, and it has consumed all my spare time. Hope to get back regularly soon.

Scott

Hola Livio, excelente la compo, los colores, detalles son increibles. Me gusta como se "ve", parece una linea con ojos, patas y antenas.
Saludos
