I gave this a 10 - just wanted to say I really like the shot and like the fact that even though the butterfly was not "perfect", it is still very beautiful. Great shot! :)
I was going to suggest color, but I really like it in B&W too! The gradients in the colors are really emphasised in B&W and its different. Why does it all have to be in colour?
Good use of b&w here, risky when shooting colourful insects. Here it is used to enhance the mood of a butterfly down on it's luck. I like the way the eye is lead to the top-right of the frame, enhancing the idea that the subject is not ready to fly off yet. Effective crop, great textures, good sharpness. 10
Excellent shot! I like the composition, position in the frame, lighting and clarity. The detail in the wings and body is superb, right down to the antennae. Nice work! :-)
Beautiful, just beautiful. Excellent DOF, very sharp, fantastic composition and contrast, I love this shot. My only critique would be the dark upper left hand corner is a bit distracting and the frame is a bit too heavy (thick) for my taste. Of course this is just my opinion and doesn't in any way mean I'm correct LOL. :-)
Incredible contrast really makes this a great vivid picture. The beautiful depth of field makes the butterfly come alive. You can almost feel the grain of the wood also. Frame work great with the picture without taking away anything. Shadows and reflections in the wing gives you a sense of texture of them.
Nice capture, at first I was thinking that this picture would look better in color, but the more I look at it the more I like the black and white, I also like the border you've added.
Using b/w on this photo really brought out the contrast and detail. Compostion, DOF and lighting are right on the money. It looks like he's looking right at you. 10
I can feel the powdery softness from this image! I only wish you could have asked this beautiful creature to take a few steps to avoid the nail..my eye keeps stopping there..however, beautiful image!
