Happy

Very beautiful macro but I'd have the whole wings in focus.

It's wonderful enough.....

Nice work!

Lovely shot. Nice blurred and dark background contrasting the bright moth (butterfly?). A nice bit of out of focus foreground and the subject is pin sharp. Obvuiously not an original subject / idea, but who cares? Could have done with a touch more light on the proboscis and flower its sipping from. Combined with a slight change of camera angle this would have given you an "Excellent Rating". I'm sure it's hard enough to get this one.

Thank you for the kind words and suggestions. This was my first butterfly shoot and I plan another in the coming weeks as the exhibit will last for several months. I'll take your ideas with me and attempt to improve on some of these.

Very nice, great composition.

This is great. Good luck with the future shots. It's a beautiful creature and the contrast on green is just perfect.

Comments and suggestions appreciated.

amazing macro, very detailed with a good light and dof!! very very good!

This is a really nice picture with warm color and depth

Well exposed, with all but the wingtips in good focus

Outstanding!

I am usually not that interested in insect images, but the last few of yours that I have seen here are unbelievably well done and full of beauty -- Wow!!!!!

I like this one the best.

great lighting and color.
