Hello Chris
This one is good and very sharp, I like the orange "make-up" he's using. Very sharp and clear. thanks Joke

this one so perfect it seems unreal, the colours and focus are so sharp and well taken that this image has developed a sense of surrealism to it. Love the textures and hues and the idea of capturing this little thing as it rests.

Beautiful.
and the colors at the back makes it even better..;
nice photo

Impressive. Lovely buttefly in a great composition.

Merhaba,
Senin fotograflarina artik yazacak kelime bulamiyorum, yani o kadar mükemmel ve güzeller ki ne desem sözlerim havada asili kalacak:)
Kelebek o kadar güzel ki, gözlerinin detaylari ve mavimsi kanat rengi olaganüstü! Arka plan renklerin de yine her zamanki gibi kusursuz ve mükemmel uyumda! Tebrik ediyorum! Ellerine saglik!
Aliza.

Beautiful colors, the fragile white butterfly on the intense green leaf. Ecellent framing and great details.

TFS,
