Your BF images are so incredible. The BF is so sharp and seems to pop from the gorgeous soft flowers. Love to see the technicals so I can learn from them. Well done. :toast:

The sharpness and detail in this image is excellent. I like the colors very much as well. The flowers are very pretty but for my tastes they occupy too much of the frame in proportion to the butterfly. Particularly since there's so little room between the butterfly and the adge of the frame.

And I would certainly appreciate an attempt at an ID and some indication of where the photo was taken, per the
posting guidelines and tips.

Actually, I was hoping to learn what part of the world, and specifically what city your butterflies were photographed in. The more information I have about something the better I can remember it and correlate it with other memories. It's how I learn.

Love the detail on the butterfly. Would consider cropping some of the plant on the right because it is competing for the attention and draws the eye away from the BF. Lovely capture.

hi Cindy, it is a Papilio Demoleus, commonly known as a Lime butterfly.

awesome shot with beautiful warm colours and details- (maybe) I'd add a bit more BG on the left and upper side of the picture- great job Fabio
