Ciao Marco :)

Very nice first attempt on butterfly :) Soft colours and excellent mood ... I love Zucchero for a long time !
Life is wonderful ... everyone has his best moment in life, heart is the best guide in life .... let the sun enter your heart, look at the others, take care of them, keep your freedom and you will certainly find great days ...
Happiness is in every heart ... sometimes the heart is hurted, sometimes it explodes of strong feelings ... keep the aim you give to you and the sun will certainly shine around you ...
Buona notte Marco
I miss to speak with you ...

What a bunch of mystical nonsense! The shot is not bad, although one wishes the butterfly was as clear as the flower, but I get more interesting messages from misguided relatives who insist on forwarding all kinds of "inspirational" chain e-mails.

Hi Marco,
God does not evolve...Interesting philosophical idea! For somebody who doesn't have Faith, God is only one concept from the human spirit. Only this concept can evolve! The desire of perfection is printed in our genes! Perhaps the memory of life a long time ago... I prefer to believe in our evolution towards the perfection rather than in a hypothetical God. The day I will be perfect, perhaps I will be God! Believe me, it is not for tomorrow! :)

I like this image which mix clarity and blur... like our mind surfing between doubt and certitude!

Beautifully done! Annie

Indeed Marco,

No improving on God's Creation, but what you can do is try to show it in the best way possible and that you did.

Very attractive and great DOF, still some movement in the landing butterfly.

Hi Marco
I always enjoy reading your notes, to some it may sound like jibberish, but there is always a message.

I have always said that the creator of this world, was one hell of an engineer, and that engineer can destroy what he has created any time he wishes. In this very fast cold world that we are now living in, people need something to cling to, through any kind of religion. Is there still hope? Time will tell.

So let's photograph the beauty we see while we have it, and you have done so with this lovely shot of the thorny flower and the living butterfly. Stay the way you are and don't let people try to change you.

Ciao Marco, bella macro, con magnifici colori, queste pieridae, mi sembra che la tua sia Pieris rapae, sono molto difficili da fotografare, si corre sempre il rischio di bruciare il bianco, per essere ai primi passi con questo genere di foto te la sei cavata molto bene, ottima la composizione, bravo, ciao Silvio

the flower is very sharp but not so on the butterfly.. probably you're focusing more on the flower.. its still beautiful shot and always accompany by your interesting note.. this is you.. this how you feel about something.. so don't feel bad if someone don't like it.. :D

tfs.. happy Friday and have a beautiful weekend.

God is not limited in space distance and time Marco. He is the totality of seen and unseen. The reason we are live up to now because HE lives. Yes those kids are my sons in my upload today.

Here in your image, you focused your lens on the flower the source of living of that butterfly. God is the source of everything. Without Him, we cant think, speak nor breath. God's thought is higher than human's mind. That's why until now, no experts will give the exact answer why the tiny ants is powerful enough and wiser enough to do everyday's tasks. Only God knows.

hi Marco

I am more attracted by the spikes and flower than the butterfly in this nicely captured DOF and natural light shot, but then the flower will look lonely without the insect which does brings a nice white color to the pinkish purple and green. The wings seem to be in motion blur just a little. Nice shot.

I'm a believer in intelligent design, myself, although none of us, are ever really certain, until we die. I guess it's a question of faith? But enough theology & back to the image. Good dof & sharpness, with an excellent color combination of green, purple & white. Tfs!

Hi Marco,
this thorny flower and leaves are very sharp in this shot,
and this contrary soft butterfly is quite light-textured in it.
this kind of interesting contrast is generally expressive, but in your shot, it looks like directed scene...of corse it must be natural shot. this intent may be related your note.
anyway colors and lighting are very nice and beautiful.
thank you,
Akihisa

iniziare con una Pieris bianchissima non ti ha certo aiutato...

Good work, Mario, as usual. Note and picture fit well together. I think you refer to the Omnipotence of God, the Alpha and Omega, the God of Creation, the God of the Mystics and the Kaballah, in perfect balance, from which everything emanates, therefore: ultimate perfection simply IS ...................

Nice picture with a rather interesting title. To me God is just an idea which does not evolve but certainly Mother Nature does. As for the image I see a very threatening beauty as if the flower is just about to devour the butterfly. Nice capture.
