Fine work!

I will ditto what Sandy has said with one caveat Swathiraj.
I would back off on the sharpening a tad.. You missed a sensor spot low too.
OK, I'm done picking on you:wink:
Well done!:toast

I like this view better, Great bg. I will say I liked this better on my monitor at work. On my home, very contrasty Imac, this is, well, quite contrasty and bright in areas. May be just my monitor. I love the detail in the wings and antennae. :toast:

The sharpness, details and pose are great. I agree that it looks over sharpened.

Hi Swathiraj,

Your image is slightly over-sharpened and that happens with a contrasty subject that has been focused perfectly with the camera. Other than that nit, it is a wonderful capture :wavey: .............................Jim

Hi all,
Thanks for your feedback.
I think I have to re-calibrate or change the monitor now. Will correct it.

Thanks..

I love the BG, sharpness and composition? You definitely have to go easy on the sharpening, though :wink:
Grt, Ingrid.
