Black and White Butterfly

I've been trying to get such a closeup for a few months. Butterflies

really don't like being near humans much. This guy had me running all

over, but I did get quite a few nice photos this time.

Nice shot. Well done. You just need to adjust the levels on the photo.

 

In photoshop:

Image > Adjustments > Levels

Here's a good tutorial about levels adjustment

Very nice detail and well exposed. I am sure this shot required a great deal of patience. Composition is almost perfect (would have been better if the top leg stayed in the frame). However, I assume you used a tripod and could not easily adjust the composition for your moving subject. Next time get an insect that will take direction! Also, I prefer a tad more color saturation, but that's just me. Overall, very nice image.

very good shot..
