Comment from Susan F. M. T.
Mary,
A brilliant picture of this most colourful & very beautiful Australian Ulysses Swallow tail Butterfly with it's unusual wings, it looks as if there is a smaller butterfly standing on top of a lager one which I know it NOT true. Beautiful diagonal composition, with artistic framing beautiful lighting Taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

nice butterfly, but the focus is very soft and this takes from the initial impact

also, the background is too bright and too busy

thanks for sharing

with this pic you can see who makes hpnnest comments on this site: the focus is obviously too soft ad the bg too noisy; a pity because the butterfly is wonderful;

Comment from Dick Lee Shia
A little clarity would have required me to rate this with a bonus star!
A rare find!
Haven't seen a butterfly as beautiful as this yet!
Excellent backdrop.
Diagonal framing.
Diffused focusing.
Subdued lighting!
Thanks for sharing...

Thanks Dick, perfect clarity on the original so not sure what issue is with FAR probably impacted on resize found that to be an issue previously. One of the reasons I don't really come on FAR too much prefer the other site I use.

Very pretty. I like the great color you captured here. I just wish it was a bit sharper. Seems a little out of focus. Thanks for sharing.
