An excellent shot. The butterfly is shown in very fine detail. His colors are beautiful and they are nicely complimented by the natural surroundings.

Your photo is perfect focused and exposed and has good depth. The sharpness of detail and textures and the realism of color and light is impressive. The Butterfly is excellent placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

I really like your angle and presentation here. The fine focus and use of light has highlighted well the gloss on the lemon tree leaves against the coffee tones of the butterfly. It's a really good take.

Nice capture. The clarity is great. The angle of the shot of the shot of this butterfly on the leaf is great. The capture of the light is great. The image is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall.

A pretty good image posted here with notes suggesting you are trying to get the best of both worlds! Your fine, off-centre composition offers us an enjoyable view of the action in your lemon tree. Sharpness and exposure are good. Nicely done!

This is a lovely butterfly indeed and I like very much it's pose and position within this scene, it has such pretty wings with the yellow and brown pattern on top and the red and black on bottom section . I see clear detail in the body , head, legs and antennas, the near wing is sharp the far wing is softer but still allows the details to show . I like the lemon tree leave that it has landed on. This is a clear image with perfect exposure, the colors and tones appear natural, the butterfly comes forward from the soft background . Well composed and presented! We just got fresh snow here and it's about 15 degreesF tonight. I can't wait to see butterflies again!
