Brownish colour palette of the shot is great and suitable for the subject very well. Excellently detailed fungus looks against the blurred BG very well. Excellent close-up. My compliments and TFS.

As usual you have shared a wonderful butterfly shot. Subject is simply sweet as well as POV and composition of the image. Nice reproduction of the smallest detals of the insect and flowers. Soft light and delicate colours are very pleasant for eyes. Well done and TFS.

I think it is not easy job to take such species. You have done it very well. Scene is very natural? Difficult for shooting . However, all is reproduced very good including the cute bird. Warm regards and TFS.

It funny to see so early flyovers. We had very warm December but now the weather are cold. Shot is composed nicely and soft lighting and pleasant colours are great too. TFS and best regards.

This fall and December were warm as spring. Now only is a bit cold weather. However, these days are great for watching so nice spring flowers. Play of sunlight and deep shadows is fine as well as superb details of the beautiful petals/ Once more thanks.

I like this species so much but never met them in our places. You pictured it nicely with spot DOF. The spica under damselfly, impressive blurred colourful BG create a nice surrounding for main hero. My warm regards and TFS.

It is funny, but I saw these birds few time during my whole life. You managed to capture it at a very impressive phase. Exposure is very food and a bit clouded sky is simply amazing and suitable for the main subject. Well done and many thanks for greetings.

One day I pictured simply identical scene. The same species, the same path, the same grass. However, your shot is better. DOF is precise, colours are vivid, details are great too. Well done and TFS.

Great reproduction of all features of the beautiful butterfly. I like direct POV and magnification ratio so much. Dark and nicely blurred BG is also wonderful. Framing of the scene is spot on too. My compliments and TFS.
