Very sharp nice colours but for me not enough depth of field. With that camera I would not worry about going for higher ISO more DOF.

What gorgeous colors, and beautifully sharp except for that wingtip. I would love to see it sharp too -- agree on trying for more DOF with a subject like this.
I'd crop out half of the stem below the flower and go for a square crop to really emphasize the subject.

I do see what the others mean, but at the same time I like the "dreamy" feel of the image as is. Beautiful blue on pink against green soft colour scheme.

Hi Miro. I usually prefer more DOF, but this is very sharp where it most needs to be and my eye immediately goes right to the beautiful blue butterfly!

The soft light, the incredible color combination, and the elegant design here really work for me. The lack of d-o-f on the one section of wing is not a big problem for me...
