[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The butterfly's top wings are slightly tatterred. It is rare for me to see a live butterfly with undamaged wings. Although I adjusted my shutter speed, I could detect some wing movement. Patience is such a needed virtue in insect photography. I must have positioned myself at this spot for a good few minutes hoping that the butterfly would come back to this pink zinnia. This is from a set of over 20 pics, one out of 20 ain't bad.

Hello Danilo,
The narrow DOF produced an interesting image, from a bit unusual POV for macro, but it looks fine! Great focus and sharpness in the middle, very detailed shot with pleasantly soft shade of pink colour. Well done, TFS!

Hello Danilo,

Oh, how honest you are!
How many times have we been disappointed with our shots, just to find one or two which are worth the waiting and the experimenting!
This is a cracker! I cannot fault it!
The colour, texture and pattern details on the butterfly are outstanding!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Danilo,
really beautiful with excellent colours and pattern.
I like the blurry background that pushes your shot into an outstanding beauty.
The diagonal blurry positioning of the flower petals is very effective.

Hi Danilo,

Very nice macro of a Painted Lady butterfly. The colors and details of the butterfly are great. If I look carefully, I can see the butterfly's proboscis in the Zinnia. The center of the flower could be a bit more crisp. TFS.

Regards,
John

Hi Danilo:
One out of twenty is not bad at all, its none out of a hundred that is really frustrating.Your patience has paid of here to get this excellent beauty.I just got myself a remote wireless shutter release and will try these types of shots all over again..hopefully with results like this ..... Thanks My friend.....Roman:0)
