Butterfly up close

While trying to keep all the color and detail in highlight, I am

afraid I have rendered the image too dark. What is your take on that?

I know what you mean and it is one of these questions I always ask myself. It is a bit dark but you get away with it. You could try to just marqee the butterfly and highlight it - or the insite of the flower- this will keep the other colours the way they are . Sometimes it helps. Otherwise very nice photo !!!

I don't find it too dark at all. It doesn't hurt that it is a great image as well. I love the amount of detail on the body of the butterfly. Very nice work!

I don't think is too dark, it's only splendid and unique! Compliments and regards, Maury

It's BEAUTIFUL, as is!
