This is my first six star rating and it is well worth it.You did an excellent job in following through with what the contest wanted.Your shot is very nicely composed,clarity is excellent
and the background really is very complimentary to the shot as a whole.Your technical
execution is flawless Helvi and you deserve nothing less then a six star.
Good Luck to you.

Comments: This is a really good picture of the butterfly. It would have been better had it not been shot so tight or cropped so tight. The poor butterfly does not have any space to move into. I would have increased the top and left side border so that there was a space to move into. Very good artist notes. I appreciate the time it took to create them. Thanks for sharing.

Hi John, You're probably right about pinching the subject a bit. I was mesmorized by the butterfly! Thanks for pointing that out to me! I'll try to be more careful in the future. Thanks for the wonderful interview and suggestion I appreciate both! :o) Helvi

You are very welcome. I find a lot of the photographers here on FAR crop very tightly. In my training in the Online DSLR course it was pointed out that particularly with things that could move need to have space surrounding them to be able to move into. If you notice on most of my posts I leave a lot of room and frequently get negative reviews for the space I allow my subjects. I believe this photo would have been a WOW photo had you allowed the additional room to move into.
Comment from chickadee
What a beautiful butterfly specimen, and your capture of him is outstanding and so sharp!! Focus clear, b.g. neutral to make the butterfly stand out, framing nice and close for a lovely view of the butterfly, lighting is wonderful and clear, colors vibrant, and naturally gorgeous!! Great shooting!!
