    Hi Saeid - Please include your shooting specs (camera, lens, shutter speed, f/stop, ISO, etc.) with your posts. Thanks. The exposure looks good and the OOF flower heads in the background add context. The sharpest areas are around the head, body and legs - where it should be sharp. The far wings aren't as sharp - you might try a little more selective sharpening there to see if it helps. The edge-on view of the near wings is different than what we usually see in butterfly shots - and I would wish that the front wing wasn't covering part of the butterfly's head. The butterfly is right in the center of the frame - not the best in terms of composition. You might try cropping some from the right and maybe from the to to move it off-center.

    Hi Saeid, I think Steve makes sound observations and advice above especially concerning the centered composition. Still, this is a nice frame with good exposure and I like the sense of being in the group of flowers with this butterfly.

    Howdy and welcome. Great to see you posting here as there is a lot to learn for those who want to. Excellent comment above to which I would add that the light was on the harsh side. And as Steve said, the edge-on view of the near wing is pretty much an image killer.

    with love, artie

    Exposure and colours look good but I don't like the butterfly smack dab in the middle. I agree entirely with previous observations made and I look forward to seeing more of your images.

    I like the idea you had here Saeid. The out of focus flower heads in the background really add to this one. Steve had made comments that I agree with on this one. I look forward to seeing more.
