A very nice presentation. The coloring of the butterfly stands out well against the green background. Great DOF keeps a lot of the detail. Focus is very clear and crisp. Positioning in the frame holds the eye. Thanks for sharing.

Very sharp focus and great lighting show great detail of this fellow. Great shot Willie especially on a butterfly as much as they flit arouond. Steve

Nice. The impact is in the colour and the sharpness of the butterfly's head. Good composition. I bet some reviewers wanted to see all the butterfly :) Nice background bokeh in a contrasting colour.

    thank you so very much! Not really! This is more to show the close view of his face.
Comment from Zilyram


Willie you have once again achieved a very beautiful macro shot. Love the lighting on the butterfly making the wings almost transparent. Great composition and focus.

Wow, the clarity of this piece is beyond perfect and the composition show your artistic ability. This is just an excellent piece of art and I really have nothing I can add to an already beautiful piece that should be rated as a 10. Thank you for allowing me to view and review this.

Comment from Flight_of_Raven


Wow, I'm super impressed with this shot! Focus is perfect right on the face of the butterfly, and I love the cropping to include the whole blurred out wing.. makes the view feel complete while the cut off lower wing doesn't bother me because it leads the eye in and adds to the dynamics of the composition. Focal depth extends quite a ways and I'm impressed that you managed to use an f/9.5 without boosting the ISO so high that the image is covered in grain. Really quite a masterful capture! Color of the butterfly contrasts really well with the green background and the blur is smooth, which is excellent. I find I'm not the biggest fan of the button bush flower, but it's not blown out or too obnoxiously out of focus, and is part of the scene (a very important part, in fact), that I guess I just have to accept it. In fact, it plays a really important role in the composition, as it anchors the shot and adds the mystery element to the story -- how many more blossoms are there to gather nectar from! Plus it adds depth to the shot. So great work, this is really fantastic!!

Willie this is such an excellent photo. I usually have so many photos I get notified about to review I seldom have time to look at other stuff but this one stood out on the front page and I had to take a closer look. This is an amazing photo of this beautiful butterfly. The focus is excellent showing all the beautiful detail. I love his bug eyes and the way the sun shines through his wings lighting them up and if they were transparent. I have not seen any of the other entries for the contest you have entered this photo in but I have to say I will be surprised if it does not do very well. So nicely captured and a pleasure to view. Good luck in the contest.

This is an amazing photograph. I love macro shots and this is the perfect one. The detail and colour are exceptional. The angle at which it is taken really captures natures beauty. Best photo I have seen in a long time. Congratulations.

Comment from faisoft


This nature photo is beautiful. The lighting is well controlled. This is well framed. The DOF is shallow, consider increasing it. Color contrast is nicely done. I like the eyes a lot. faisoft
