the detail and colours in the butterfly are stunning, but i am not sure about the stem protruding from in front of it

Very nice capture.

Curious - was this taken early in the day?

Hi Guy,

Splendid, absolutely splendid shot! Love to point of view and the depth of field is awesome! Combined in Photoshop or using something like Heli?

Very nice Guy, like the comp, looks a tiny bit oversharpened on my monitor, like it lots.

Exellent picture and I think maybe a little more surround would improve things. Perhaps showing the top of the stem ?
Cheers

That's another cracker Guy.

Hi Guy,

Agree with Andrew, it does look a little over sharpened. But compositionally it is an excellent image, colours are very good.

Good Shot

Regards

Rob

Like this Guy. The pink Oof flowers below the butterfly drag my eye a bit, but other than that it looks great to me.
