Very nice macro Martina, beautiful species captured with nice details. I would increase colour saturation to enhance the colours. Very nice work.

Hi Martina,

This is a stunning picture; the focus is good and the DOF is perfect. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Your brother must be a fantastic guy, judging by his name! :) Just kidding.

Martina, this is a very beautiful picture. Maybe, I would try to add some saturation, but that's just an opinion.

Excellent composition and pov; great sharpness.

It's incredible how you got the whole butterfly in focus by using only f/2.8.

Great job.

Hello Martina, good shot of this butterfly. It's a good detailed shot and the colours and exposrure are good. For F2.8 the DOF is very effective. I feel a little more sharpnening could be applied here, I have posted a workshop to show you. I hope you don't mind.

Hi Martina, This is a gorgeous specimen. Because it is mainly dark of color the exposure meter of the camera measured it as such. This resulted in the whites being a tad hot. You might have considered compensation for this my adjusting the exposure compensation on your camera to -1/3 or -1/2. If I am faced with difficult exposures such as these I used bracketting. Your camera should have that facility. Anyway... I make as if this is not a great shot, it is. It's just a minor nit and not distracting.

Wow!A stunning shot of a wonderful butterfly.
I think the suns glare has bleached the colour a little.
A little darkening,saturation and sharpening would give this more impact.
Very good work though.
