Merhaba Seyfi bey,
Fantastic macro, the details on the wings are tack sharp and the off-centered composition is pleasant to look at. Perfect exposure even in harsh lights, and nice white balance settings as well. Background's a little noisy, but the image itself is lovely overall. Congratulations!
Kind regards from Ireland, László
Hi Seyfi,
The flowers are helping to frame the insect. The point of view is showing the details of the Pieris krueperi butterfly. The light is enhancing the colors. Have a nice day.
