This image was taken at the Butterfly Conservancy in New York.

Worth a visit if ever in the Oneonta area. Comments are always

welcome. Thanks for looking.

Very nicely composed and captured Holger!

Well done.  You have diagonal lines, a nice butterfly, and a blurry b/g.  I like it.  Congratulations.

Well composed shot with shallow DOF.

Lovely,  delicate composition. Nice work. 

Best regards, Holger!

what a wonderful composition! Very sharp, great macro. Well  seen.

Hi Holger,

  Wonderful macro with beautiful colors & background.  Take care, Patsy

For me a wonderful and artistic macro:...6!

Thank you all for the kind words, and making the effort to look. I'll see you soon.

The outline shape of the vegetation that the butterfly clings to resembles a butterfly too, very clever! 

Best Regards

Can't get anything by you Alf. Thanks for the look and write.

Well done!

Nice capture. Sharp subject and blurred b/g. Since the ISO was 1250, I assume you did not use flash. How was the noise when enlarged?

Kathy, Its always nice to hear from, thanks for your comment.

Hi Dave, Nice to see you back. I shot this a couple of years ago with Canon t3i and canon 70-300 mm IS lens. At 1250 iso there was little noise enlarged, what little there was , was limited to the far outside areas towards the corners. Thanks for your comment and question.

Holger

Excellent!

Wonderful my friend!!

Tony, Alberto   Great to hear from you both. Thanks for looking and commenting. See you soon.

This is great Holger.  Don't know how I missed it before.   AJ

Thanks for your comment AJ. See you soon.

love the spareness.  j

Wow, excellent detail captured Holger!! I appreciate the effort. Butterflies don't always stay still too long. You had it in just the right focal plane. That is where I have a bit of trouble sometimes.  Congrats on this one!

Gail, Jamie Thanks for the look and write. I did enjoy the visit to the Butterfly Conservatory very much. It's a giant room filled with many different species of plant, animal, birds and of course... butterflies. Thanks again, see you soon.
