Welcome to the Macro/close-up gallery, Evan. Outstanding first post. Perfect dof management and excellent detail on the beautiful BF. The bg is super for highlighting the subject. :toast:

Lovely shot of this butterfly. How nice to have the BF standing near the tip of the leaf. It's also well positioned in the frame. The black parts of the BF feel blocked up to me, I wonder if some dodging of those would help. It could also be that there are details to be seen in those areas, it's just that it's very hard on an image this small.

Great image, Evan! The butterfly posed so nicely for you. :smile: Very good focal plane control to get the butterfly sharply focused. Nice comp and background.
