Lovely capture of a beautiful butterfly, Sandy. Excellent detail and a very attractive composition, with the framing of the leaves being a real plus for me.

Great detail/DOF and comp Sandy, I like it!
Perhaps just a slight bumping up of the mid-tones? Just a thought.
Well done

Fabulous color in this subject, Sandy. I like the inclusion of the leaves in the comp to go with the spread wing pose. Just amazing the way the colors of the wings and leaves match.

Great sharpness, wing-tip to wing-tip and antennae. It is not easy. Well done!

Sandy, this is a beauty. The greens of the wings and leaves match well. It almost looks as though the butterfly is standing on the leaf with the bottom tips of its wings. Well done.

Beautiful image, Sandy! The color match with the leaves adds a new dimension to the image. The background is unique and makes the butterfly stand out. Very nice capture. Well done!
