Looks nice enough Guy but your colour balance is out a tad and there's 3 big dust bunnies above the wing.

Hi Guy, looks a little warm too me sir, perhaps a drop in the Cyan and Blue in Colour balance might work? Also there are two dust bunnies above the background wing, sorry. Comp and content as high as every. :wink:

Beat me to it again Mr A!!!

Maybe a tad warm but it gives the effect of late evening light which i like, Overall a very nice study well taken and presented

Hello and thanks for your comments

Hands up on the dust bunnies MR AA but your wrong on the colour balance as this image was taken in the last half hour of light, which is where the warm colours have come from. If you look at where the shadows are you could have worked this out being an expert wildlife photographer.

All the best matey.

this is a beauty I love the colour,some lovely warmth to it,love the red buds really adds to it

I must admit Guy, my first thought was that it looks a bit warm but the end of the day would explain it. The composition is great and the butterfly lovely and sharp throughout.

Looks fine to me Guy.
I see no bunnies unless I enlarge it. No doubt they are there.

Sarcasm doesn't suite matey :biggrin: :biggrin:

Just try changing it to CR-9, MG+2, YB+15 - it keeps the overall colour effect but cleans up the whites on the antennae and legs and just tweeks the wing colour.

Just my opinion Guido. :wink: :wink: :wink: :smile: :smile: :wavey: :wavey:
