Thomas, this is another beauty! That splash of orange in the corner against the beautiful green is fantastic. Everything is nicely in focus at f8 - even the corners of the image look good.
How did you post-process the image? Any pp adjustments or is this basiclly SOOC?
Thomas, you have shared a beautiful field of green and topped if off beautifully with a orange highlight. It is all positive!!
Cheers, Jay

"Nature Interpreted" - Photography begins with your mind and eyes, and ends with an image representing your vision and your reality of the captured scene; photography exceeds the camera sensor's limitations. Capturing and Processing landscapes and seascapes allows me to express my vision and reality of Nature.
Liked the colour contrast with orange & green in the image.
Personally, I might've liked the butterfly further into the frame (just a little bit) OR crop a bit from the left & top from the posted image.
Thanks!
Almost no pp is done.A little unsharp mask (250-0,2-0),and the lightness a tad curved down.Otherwise it's straight from the camera.
And,Kaushik,thanks for the comp input.I,on the other hand,thought about to have the butterfly
further into the corner,hehe.I like extreme compositions.

Very nice, Thomas. I like the comp with the butterfly in the corner (and I could also see it even further in the corner - I like extreme comps too :) ) and the diagonal veins of the leaf leading my eye through the frame. Nice sharpness and exposure. To my eye, the butterfly looks a little oversaturated (based on the tortoiseshells we have over here - but maybe yours are more brightly colored?). It is a very nice specimen in any case.
Thanks,Steve.
This is the second generation butterfly and they are very bright in the colours.
In the spring,when the first generation wakes from the winterslumber,the colours are
much paler.But there is also variations,of course,with the colours in between.

I like this one a lot Thomas!! Great comp, beautiful lighting...I love the shadow in front of the butterfly, it adds a lot of depth, and the colours and details are truly great! Well shot!
Cheers!
