Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Excellent subject with exotic wing design!

Subtle illumination makes it glow in the dark.

Impressive inclusion of a lone leaf adding a natural touch!

Sharply focused.

Ideal framing with ample spaces all throughout.

Thanks!

never seen it before, thanks for introducing this amazing creature. Like the dark background that makes the insect more visible. The live with water looks like green marble. great catch.

This is a beautiful photo of this butterfly! Your "subject" is perfectly centered in the frame and the clarity is spot-on. Great coloring and lighting make the details in the wings and leaf stand out. Well done and good luck!!

Piano Key I can understand, but postman butterfly seems to be stretching things! Your full and central composition grants us a good look at the scene. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!

A fantastic close up shot of this unusual butterfly, captured with brilliant clarity and timing as it perches on this leaf not much bigger than itself; it's almost as if it's posing for you!! beautiful colours and detail in great lighting, a strong contender for the competition and best of luck!! :)
