    This is excellent, Thijs! Wonderful species, wonderful execution, great perch and BG. I may have chosen one stop down to try and get the end of the antenna in focus. Also the end of the wings goes just a little bit soft which would have been fixed by that. But hey, that's bordering nitpicking. Excellent work!

    Hey Thijs,
    I agree that a bit more DOF may have been preferable......but this turned out very nicly with wonderful light. You may want to experiment with toning down the lowest flowers a bit.....not too much......just to minimize their impact even further. All in all......very nicely done with great isolation.

    Hi Thijs. This is a beauty! Excellent detail around the butterfly's head, the exposure is right on, and it's all set against a very nice background. You have some good suggestions above to consider. You might also try some additional selective sharpening on the rear half of the wings as I think that will put this one over the top. Well done.

    Thanks for the comments!
    I would to prefered some more dof, but this wasn't possible because there was a very strong wind and with a smaller aperature i would have a (to) slow shutterspeed.

    Good idea to tone down the flowers
