    Hi Joseph. Like the frame, details and pose. I guess with f/8 or even f/6.3 BG could be less busy and DOF could still cover the subject. I would apply NR to the BG. TFS.

    Cheers,

    I too think the background is busy and in need of noise reduction. Nice critter!

    Very nice capture of the butterfly in good light! I don't mind the BG except for the white petals -- they pull my eye away from the subject more than I like.

    I like the shot if it were mine I would desaturate the background greens a little and apply NR to the whole image but much less on the subject.
