A present for Lotl

Today Silke celebrates her birthday. So I want to present a small gift from a warm hart to Lotl, the Lady of the Lens!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY dear Silke! Wish you many years in good health together with Roy and all your other beloved ones. Hope to celebrate your birthday on May 11th in Bournemouth. Meet you soon!

A small gift from the Artis Zoo Butterfly garden, no clue what it's name is but let we call him Eklis :-)

What to tell about this image, ah what the heck lets just celebrate!

PP work:
Shot in RAW. Adjusted contrast, brightness and saturation, all minor. Small crop sharpened, converted to JPEG, resized and sharpened again. Add frame and text.

Hi Hans,

Wonderful image. The colors and details in the wings of the butterfly is spectacular. Just wonder if the head of the butterfly could be more in focus. TFS

I love the way Eklis's wings match your BG perfect! lol

Hi Hans,
Lovely close up. The wings seems almost transparent as the colour of the wing matches with the background.
Great nature picture.

Thanks for your kind words on "EMPIRE AT NIGHT SCENE"

Hoi Hans,

It's a gift and one should actually not say bad things about a gift, but here goes.
I like the shape, color and composition, however the image is so blurred that it would make me try again. Maybe the use of flash could help?

Cheers,
Pedro

Hi Hans
