This is a pretty butterfly. The colors and details of the markings are captured well. I also really enjoy how the background colors stand out and accentuate the subject so nicely.

Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Excellent choice of subject.
Aptly captured for the contest theme...

A rare find!
Fantabulous wing design!

Better if that illumination on the flower was on the butterfly itself!
Gorgeous backdrop.
A little more cropping on the right & half on the upper negatspace would greatly bring more focal attention on the central framed subjects.

But still a fantabulous entry!
Best of luck in the contest!

Thanks for sharing...

The PoV is perfect. The crisp captured butterfly and its flower are standing out well out from the shallow background. The defined details are impressive. I appreciate the realistic colors. It is eye pleasing hoe the flower curves into the frame. The photo is well balanced and framed.

This is beautiful - I love the way you've captured both sides of the butterfly's wings. The background complements the main subjects beautifully. Great work.

What an amazing and wonderful shot. I love the background it makes the subject stand out so well and is very complimentary to the whole piece. Well framed - well done.

The colors in this photograph really are amazing as the bokeh is beautiful and creates a perfect background for your beautiful butterfly. Outstanding depth and detail and a remarkable entry for the contest. For being a simply shot, this has a lot to offer and is full of incredible detail.
Best wishes in the competition.

A beautiful shot in every way. The perspective is excellent and shows the underside of the flower. The butterfly is very sharp and the colors are excellent. Best of luck in the contest.

Such a great photo of lovely ladylike butterfly on the back of a delicate pink flower! One easily sees how aptly the species was named! (I have often thought their beautiful colors and patterns looked oriental.) Thanks for sharing! Daphne Oberon
