Hi Sanjeev, this butterfly looks great....sharp all the way and the colors look just right. If this were mine, I'd probably turn it into a vertical crop....taking a lot off the left and a little off the right. I'm debating with myself whether or not the BG need to be smoothed out but I think I would keep it the way it is. Nicely done!

BTW, this isn't a Monarch. It's a Lesser Wanderer which is a close relative of the Monarch. :S3:

Thanks Ken, I agree I should have gone for a vertical crop. Thanks for correcting me on the ID :-)

I love the sharpness and colors of the butterfly...the BG doesn't bother me a bit. I don't think we have those over here in Texas, or I've never seen one.:S3:

Hi Sanjeev. What a beautiful butterfly - giving you a nice pose and sharp throughout! I agree with Ken - this will look great with a vertical crop. Very well done!

Very good sharpness and colors. I like the BG as is. Very nicely done. Vertical would be even better.
