Hi,
Nicely done. Looks like you were able to get a lot of detail in the dark values. I have no nits.......................................Jim

Excellent, Yun. From the techs, looks like the light was limited, but this came out very nice. I'd probably crop a little off the left and center the BFs for more symmetry, but this is purely subjective.

Lovely look at these two, with excellent sharpness in both bfs and in the leaves at the top. Well seen and well executed. Yes, a small crop from the left might be an improvement, but this works very well as presented.

Lovely photo, great detail and soft light. If it were me, I might consider a either a slight crop to center the subject, or (if there's enough cropped out now to allow it) place them more off-center than now. But that's just personal preference. Nice image!

Yun: I have an old slide of this exact pair taken at the Westminster Butterfly Center outside Denver. Brings back good memories. Nicely done. >=))>
