Wonderful photo Alexei!
So many colours that are very vibrent and bright.
Very sharp with superb clarity and a lot of detail.
Great POV aswell.
Very well done,

Hello Alexei,
Beautiful sharp picture. If possible, I would not have cropped this way. I would have keep whole of the second flower.
Cheers,

hello Alexei,
Beautiful light for this picture too. Amazing sharpness and beautiful, warm colours. Just a little thing, maybe it would have been better to show the entire petals of the flowers. Very fine blurred background.
Thanks and best regards

Certainly a better one than the 'next' in the gallery. Unfortunately I believe it is mine...:-)
Once again, great work and technically outstanding.

A wonderful composition - lovely arrangement...very pleasing how the flowers seem to 'face' one way and the butterfly another. Great light and color. Perfect details!

Hello Alexei,
Superb technical quality of this shot, not only because of the lens: the photographer has to play a part as well!
I like the complementary effect of the flower on the rather worn Painted lady. The lighting, composition and bokeh add the finishing touches to a near to perfect shot.
Well done and thanks,
Have a good weekend,
Ivan

Hi Alexei
I think the great interest generated by your discussion about the Sigma 70-300 lens here is due to the large number of photographers using it. It's indeed a very cheap lens for the quality it provides and it's big versatility gives it a good use for a wide range of photographers - from macro to telephoto.
This is also a terrific example for the quality of the lens! I've noticed teh great inclrease in DOF once the focal length is reduced from 300mm. It would be nice to always find subjects that don't run or fly away so that we could use it for most of our close-ups :)
The sharpness here is impeccable! In fact it's so clear and good that i can't imagine how amazing it looks without all this compression.
At first, when i saw your post, i thought it was a poor composition, with the butterfly in the center. After reading your notes, i understand clearly why you chose this one. You needed something in which you can compare the sharpness in the center with the ones at the edge, and for that it's a perfect shot!
Wonderful work with both of your subject well presented and visible!
Bravo and TFS
Horia
PS: we are happy to have you here my friend and i'm sorry other sites can't appreciate you. It's really their loss!

Hello Alexei,
you achieved high resolution and sharpness in combination with great depth of field. Light is beautiful. I would have prefered slight cropping to the left.

Dear Alexei,
a marvellously rich, very precise, extraordinarily well lighted and reported landing of the Painted Lady. Blossoms and butterfly literally stand out from the screen in front of a suberbly smooth, perfectly supporting distant background. There is so much energy and warmth in this image - what a pleasure to look at, my friend.
Don't worry about your experiences with other forums. Rude words always go together with ignorance, and that is by no means restricted to Russian forums, it's an international phenomenon well known from many parts our so called western civilization. With participants like you, TN is an inviting and well supporting forum for the exchange of images, thoughts, observations, comments and useful suggestions.
Have a very good day. My best regards,
Peter
Hi Alexei
I'm not sure what I like most, the butterfly or the flower. Both are beautiful and well shot. Beautiful colours, sharp focusing, perfect DOF and well composed. Stunning image

Hello Alexei,
Another very beautiful butterfly image from you! Both butterfly and flower are sharply in focus showing impressive details and wonderful colours. The background is a beautiful soft colour too. Personally I would have included the whole flowers since they are so sharp and very beautiful.
Many thanks and best wishes, Ulla
Beautiful work Alexei,
Interesting composition with the full & just blooming flower pair..Excellent light, color, sharpness, detail, DOF, POV, and BG. But I always expect no less from you :)

Another high lesson on photography, dear Alexei!
What a superb shot!! You were really lucky this time, since the butterfly chose the best of the perchs. I will have to tell to our gardener to plant that kind of flowers in our garden. They are so bright and beautiful!
Magnificent details and lovely composition.
Congratulations and thank you very much for sharing.
My best regards

Hi Alexei,
A beautiful image with such lovely colour and crystal clear detail.The pattern of the butterflys wings is cleary seen...quite amazing.The DOF is perfect with the background totally neutral.A bit of a shame that the flowers are a bit tight within the frame.Very nice work...TFS.

Gran enfoque Alexei y colores muy naturales en la mariposa. Veo que también respetar el espacio a la izquierda como manda la norma, aunque yo hubiese preferido la flor de la derecha que el espacio de la izquierda jeje.
Preciosa.

Provet Alexei,
I think it's so good the way you contribute here in TN.
Not to mention the high artistic quality of your shots, but also the clear way you share your experiences here.
It takes time to do research and put it on clear terms to help us here.
Just love the warm light and the intense yellow of the flower, that illuminates the whole picture, and no traces of even a single part burned out.
My compliments and thanks for share it.
Best regards,
JM

Wonderful picture. I have that same lens and it also amazes me at the image quality considering the price. In this case it appears as if it were a high end lens...but I suspect this is due to you, the man behind the viewfinder. Wonderful presentation replete with quality notes.

Hi Alex
Another great shot Normally I would said that you should crop it a little bit more from the right for better compo but I like the additional flower situation here. Sharpness and background is perfect. I also like good contrast vivid red/yellow VS light brown

I don't know how I missed this outstanding shot from you. Simply marvellous. Fantastic colours and immaculate sharpness with superb lighting and exposure. One of the best on TN surely. The BG is just majestic and presents a fine base to the subjects to stand out perfectly. Excellent POV and very nicely composed. Kudos.
