Dear Bev'
The point of view and dof are both good here
The color management done professional, with a nice bokeh in background
Just seems noise on background need to remove...
Thank you

Hi Bev,

This is a very good shot of butterfly and flower I seem to get the white butterfly's and when I try to take a shot they move. The pov is excellent and the colours are very, nice sharp details and the dof is great well done.

Regards
Jon

Hi Beverley

Very good warm cold colour contrasts, between the orange butterfly & the violet blue flower petals with superb use of a shallow dof & good sharpness & framing. Tfs!

I don’t know the name of the blue flower plant but we call it the butterfly catcher.
I have one in my garden and it works very well. I works for you to I can see
A lovely sharp shot. Nice in color.

Hi Bev :)

Lovely capture of my favorite 'Painted Lady'! :)
The POV and sharpness are at their best and the colors are well shown. The color contrast between the buddleia flowers and the butterfly, is amazing! The DOF is nicely controlled. Except the BG noise, everything seems to be on its right place. Well done!

best regards,
Paras

hello Bev,
another fine butterfly picture.This Painted Lady is beautifully displayed with nice light and colours. The green bokeh shows her off well too. Another easy plant yoy may like to try for butterflies is Verbena Bonsaris (tall verbena). Although tall it takes up little space.See here

Hey Beverley,

For starters, our swallow function works just fine upside down. Your body doesn't rely upon gravity to swallow, rather a series of muscles lining the esophagus.

Secondly, your image is an easy fix. Just rotate it 180°! ;-)

This is a lovely macro. The colors just jump off my screen and the afternoon sun bathes the butterfly's wings in light.

You DOF is just about perfect with the entire body and wing structure of the butterfly in sharp focus. I think a little more depth would work in keeping the rest of the flower in focus, but really that's a very minor suggestion.

Great work!
