I dream of getting the chance to see an image like this in my garden, so hopefully I will one day if patient enough. I just love this photo, and one of my favorites, re any "butterfly" image, I have seen for a long time..... Yes, I must, and will, add it to my favorites.....
This is a fantastic image the color is good the dof used works well the focus is good, there really isn't a thing I would change on this photo.
Your composition is exceptionally well done, I think what hurt you is it is a little week for in the garden. The photo could have been anywhere there was grass or a pine tree and that probably is the one thing that hurt you.
Overall this is a wonderful shot...keep up the good work.
Beautiful capture... perhaps a little too almost-symmetrical for me. I don't care for your heavy border which is too distracting. Lovely, delicate colours with perfect saturation. The crop is a little tight for my taste here. 8
Although in one sense I like the way you've caught two butterflies together, in another sense, the recognisable shape of a butterfly wing has been lost and I'm not sure that works for me... I do like the DOF choice.
