Lovely capture of this beautiful butterfly. Could be a tad tighter yet to really cross the macro threshold perhaps?
What a strange comment considering your crop was a lot tighter than his .
I really liked this one, and picked it to ribbon.
Hmm. Thanks Anita, just noticed this going back thru and looking at the images.
I guess what I was thinking was driven by the size of the insect being photographed? Often, I comment on first impressions, sometimes probably not the best way to do it, but hey, nobody's perfect. :-)
One of my top picks this challenge. The color and level of detail here are amazing, and there's a rich sense of visual depth. My ONLY nit is that the eye of the butterfly--which is the natural focal point for the composition--appears a smidge out of focus on my desktop monitor. A wee bit of selective sharpening might clear that up. But it hasn't impacted my score today.
