Ovidiu, you said you cropped the sides which means you should have room to work with. I think I might like this better with a bit more on the left and a bit less on the right or maybe even as a square. Right now, it looks just a little off-balance to me. Being picky about such things, I'd probably clone out the shadow of the right antenna.
Actually, both look great so it's just a matter of preference. Since I like tight crops, the second version looks good for my tastes. I think the only other change I would make would be to clone away that one flower that's touching the frame in the middle bottom.
What a beauty of a butterfly, Ovidiu! Man, that is just superb! I definitely like the last repost the best. Very impactful color here without going too saturated. Those reds are right on the edge with full color and full detail...very well done!
Hey Ovidiu,
I was fine with the OP....but the crop tweaks make this outstanding. I personally prefer the last one......but the tighter one works great too so nice options to have!
This is superb, Ovidiu! Great colors, excellent sharpness, and a clean background. I think I prefer the tighter crop, though it's a close call. (I'm surprised that Roman, the master of the tight crop, didn't go with that one too.) :) :)
