[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I better fly before Danilo sprays his garden with malathion. I hope Danilo realizes that I have nothing to do with the powdery mildew on this pink zinnia. I really hope he sees that both of my wings are tattered, I may have difficulty flying. Most of all I wish viewers and farmers will practice organic gardening and employ integrated pest management. I prefer no pesticides. Give us a chance to survive. I want to fly carefree and breathe fresh air.

This is superb, Danilo!
A face-to-face with a butterfly is an experience that most people will never have encountered!
Very fine details of both the butterfly and the flower are in evidence, oh, and I just love that pov!
A very well chosen dof.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Great shot Danilo, I thought I was going to see 60mm again? not so this time.

Lovely detail especially in the flower, beautiful colours.

Thanks

Excellent macro, Danilo. And, yes, can you avoid malathion? Are there no organic alternatives? (I know from experience they are much less effective if at all but still worth a try!)
Regards,
Tibi

Great head-on POV and personally I like the tattered wings: not all butterflys are perfect. Colours are rich and details sharp - great stuff!
Thanks for sharing
Mark

Hello Danilo

A beautiful capture here, wonderful sharp detail and good colour saturation, a wondeful image that is well balanced with perfect DOF

Excellent Danilo, not only the flower and butterfly but the notes. Many townships down here have plantation forests close by and quite often get 'sprayed'. Superb colour and lovely detail,
David

What a beautiful butterfly pose! (Excuse me Danilo, is it a butterfly or a moth?)Love the open wings - it looks like it knows you!

Cheerios

Hi Danilo,
beautiful moment.Great macro and great details.Congratulations master.Necla.

Excellent macro work. High quality photography.

Ang galing ng DOF at detalye dito Dan, pati bg at komposisyon ay panalo. Huwag kang maniniwala na walang blemish yung mga mangga ko, medyo nadaanan na ng cloning yung mga part na may batik ng itim :-). Hinog na yun, kulay dilaw sila, makikita mo sa sheen sa left na bumanda sa mangga kulay dilaw ang balat, yun talaga ang kulay nun, nadaig yata ng anino ng puno kaya naging yellow green. Masosobrahan sa liwanag kung sa labas ng puno ko kunan magiging OE lahat :-). Camouflage na tipaklong ang isusunod kong upload, nakatsamba ko kasi detalyado ang kuha :-) Til then mate.

Hi Danilo,
Magnificent macro in a wonderful POV! I just love to see the butterflies from that angle.
Marvellous details, DOF and colors accompanied by a very good note.

no words.. a beauty!! wonderful details, colours.. all is perfect!! an excellent macro!! bravo!

I know Rabani is going to like seeing me like this. See how my tattered brown wings stand out with the glazed delicious green blur behind me. And how gloriously I'm up here with the pink gorgeous zinnia propping me as I'm about to flutter away. But alas with all my colors and happy demeanor, why is it farmers and growers have to treat us like terrorists and insurgents. Don't they know, I have a lot to do in pollinating their flowers and making them look good. Ah well, even if my life cycle is short, at least this part of my life lifting off has been captured very well for posterity.
Thank you Danilo. Got to fly now.

Bonjour Danilo
Du très beau photographique cette fleur et ce papillon,l'image est nette au bon endroit.
Bravo et bonne journée
