Swinging Butterfly ( Please View Larger )

Hello everyone, I hope that you like this photo, any critiques or comments are very welcome. Best wishes to all.

A nice capture. I like the sense of delicate weighting that it gives. The butterful is very sharp and contrasts nicely with the background. I'd prefer a slightly longer DOF to bring the flowers into sharper focus for it to be perfect. A great photo.

Excelente imagen macro de superior belleza, luz, color y un perfecto encuadre, Saludos cordiales Omar.

Very good!

Thank you every one for your comments, to Alistair: I do have a version with a bigger DOF where you can see the flower with more clarity, but I like this better since I want the butterfly to be the main subject of the photograph, and with the focus on the butterfly even if the flower is brighter doesn't interfere with the main subject.

I will post later the other version with a bigger DOF and see which people like best. Thank you for your thoughts and advices they are very appreciated. Best Wishes.

Nice shot, very sharp, with right amount of DOF... compliment

 

Ciao

Beautiful capture of a very hard subject> Color, composition, and sharpness makes this a WINNER.. KEEP UP THE GREAT TAKING OF IMAGES.

Neat photo. That poor butterfly "hanging in the balance" is unique. Really lovely colors, and I agree that sharpening the flower might de-emphasize your main subject.

Excellent Shot

sharp...........nice tone, composition and DOF.

Nice, but bad composition.

I like the curve of the stalk, the absolute clarity of the butterfly, background adds value without detracting. I agree with your choice of the out-of-focus flower. Congrats.

I like the position of the butterfly and the way that the flower stalk bends, my only suggestion woud be to crop off the top where there is nothing going on, perhaps about a forth of the way down.

Very beautifully composed macro. The arch of the plant very nice & the butterfly really seem to be having a good swing.

Exellent shot!

Omar, esta toma es sencillamente perfecta! una preciosa imagen...

The only word for it is beautiful! great job

Thank You every body, for your comments and critiques, they are very appreciated. Here is an very fast cropped version with less space on top and bottom. What do you think? does it look better? best regards.

I like the version with more space. Very beautiful and special photo!
