This is a very nice photograph. The way that you changed the background really makes the butterfly stand out. Great focus and details. Thank you for sharing.

This is so beautiful! You have really captured all the intricate details and colours on its wings. The light background really makes it pop off the page! Well done!

Hi Nieves, nice to see you with this great picture of a butterfly. The butter fly has a fine coloring to it and great shape and form. The pattern on the wings is amazing. Ray

Thanks, my friend. This six rating really made my day!

Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan
The butterfly is presented in a lovely, simple, and effective manner. Well done. Good luck. I wanted to participate, too. However, a butterfly is not an insect. And hence I did not proceed.

Oh, I think this contest is also for bugs. Thanks for the information and the sweet review. I will recheck the rules of this contest. I thought I've read insects and bugs.

Thanks, Brian. Actually, the original is really beautiful, too. Only that the background is green and some dark shadows.

A lovely image of this butterfly against a pale background accentuating its colors. The position and the angle of the shot in the frame is good. I imagine the outlines of the butterfly could be a little sharper.

Hi Nieves, I don't think I've ever seen this butterfly before! I like the coloration. You did a great job with the focus and lighting. I like the slight angle of the butterfly. I think you presented the butterfly very well! Good Luck in the bug contest!
