    Super shot. The details, the BG, the colors,,,,,,,,,,,super. Great DOF, also. Only thing I would do is a little off the top, but it works great for me as is. a hint of halo visible on wings and flower

    I noticed some of the BF legs are hidden behind the flower, Ill leave to others on that. Jay

    great sharp image. I would like to see the butterfly larger in the frame, but don't know where I would crop since the details on the flowers are so interesting also.

    Adrian, this is very nice! I agree some should be cropped from the top.

    Sure, it would be better if the legs were showing but the dew covered butterfly and the beautiful flowers easily compensates for that small problem!

    Hi Adrian, Love the image from the soft light to the beautiful dew covered BF and flower, only suggestion would to crop just a tad off the top bringing the BF in to the rule of thirds within the composition.

    Excellent shot colours details etc spot on, my only criticism would be the hidden legs.

    Hey Adrian,
    Outstanding! I don't mind the legs here because the perch is excellent with the dew taking this up yet another notch! I am never afraid of the crop tool;).....so would be OK with suggested crop.......but am fine with the OP presentation also! Very well done!
