philippe 0 Posted August 7, 2002 The butterflies are nicely sharp and detail rich. But you have a quite nervous background. Imagine a blured background: The animals would stand out much more. With the setup of having the wall behind, I see that this would be difficult, but if you could get closer (if your lens allows it) and only take the the one on the left or the other two butterflies, the blured background could become possible, without loosing focus on the wings. Just an idea... Regards,Philippe Link to comment
1000wordsphotography 0 Posted August 8, 2002 Super clarity, but I would agree that the butterflies would seem even more clear with a bit more blurring to the background. I love the way they almost appear to be dancing lightly across the leaf. The green really POPS! Link to comment
philip_coggan 0 Posted August 10, 2002 The moment I saw this I thought of jets lined up on an aircraft carrier, and then I saw your title, same idea. About the background: maybe some very careful dodging/burning/blurring in photoshop if you wish to follow that suggestion? Link to comment
boz 0 Posted August 10, 2002 fantastic shot of 3 butterflies,really sharp and great colours.Pity about the background but you can't have everything. Link to comment
belgradigno 0 Posted August 11, 2002 I like background - it brings some non-standard blur and dynamics of natural habbitat. I am sorry bacause the firstone (first form the left) had less light than other two. Link to comment
harold_leff 0 Posted August 12, 2002 Must be something wrong with me. The quality of the butterflies & leaf they are standing on is so high that I never noticed the bg until it was mentioned. The picture is a great job, well done. Link to comment
gerry_clarke 0 Posted August 12, 2002 Very nice detail and color, I know this to be a difficult shot as one breath of air and the butterflies take off. Nice work. Link to comment
suzanne_berry 0 Posted November 3, 2002 Beautiful and sharp capture of nature. It looks as though if someone turned some music on they would start dancing! Link to comment
touchinglightphotography 0 Posted August 19, 2004 I like the balance of the composition and the gentle upward sweep of the green leaf. Very nicely composed. Tough to pick the background, as is, it is not so bad! The saturation and colors make the butterflies really POP! The bright streak on the leaf really adds interest too. Upside down is right side up for this photo! Link to comment
