Nice capture. The leaf shadow doesn't help you.

Charles,

Yes the shadow does distract a bit, However, I posted for the detail in body and eyes. Thank you for the critique. Have a great day.

Com pliments, a very good and artistic macro.

Is a nice capture for details and color indeed,I like the result you have here,the leaf shadow doesn't disturb me to much,in fact is easy to change it you want.I am curious what lens did you use here.This summer in my area I do not know what happened but butterflies were so rare and what I saw was just white and few brown.The fact insects were in a less number is seen in orchard where fruits a less than usual.

Maurizio,

Sorry for slow response. Thank you for the kind words. Have a great day.

Radu,

Thank you for the kind words. I use a 105mm macro on a cropped body. The shadow would be hard for me as I know nothing about Photoshop. I use Lightroom.  Sorry for the slow response. Have a great day!

Thank you for answer Michael,is a good result as I said and wait to see more  this autumn.
