P+D- gorgeous butterfly- interesting to see the left wing slightly oof, a problem I often have as well, even though it is not that much out of the plane of focus.

Great colors!

Hi Gregory and Verena. So glad you like the image of the butterfly. Thanks for the observation and comment. Best regards, Paul.

Hi Paul and Dana,

 

a near-perfect image of this swallowtail butterfly! The image quality is very high, the colors and the detail are astounding. Looking at the settings, I see there was even room in the exposure to get the butterfly's left wing tip in focus too: you could have shot his at f 8.0, 1/1250 sec. But I know these technical aspects are most often an afterthought. Thank you for this great image, which I will keep in my favorites. Kind regards, Vincent

Hi Vincent. Nice to hear from you. Unfortunately the butterfly wings were fluttering at a high rate. I know it looks like it was posing but that's the reason for the high shutter speed. Thanks for the great observations and comment. Best regards, Paul.
