As most of your pictures this is a lovely one. It is nice that the background is blueish which makes the blackish butterfly the eye catcher. It is well placed in the middle.
It seems like the leaf underneath the butterfly is some sort of wing too, that makes is fit even better with the butterfy itself.
I also like it that the butterfly isn't symmetric, it would have been too perfect if it was.
What do you use to make the background so blurry? I always lie it in your pictures, in so way it fits nice to it.

What do you think?

wow! i really love the nice collors in the backround! the stripes and spots on the wings is really beautyful

and the focus is really good!

i really like that we can't really see what the backround is, because it makes it look like it's just a whole lot of collors! i really like it when you take photos of animals, because you are really good at it (have seen through your gallery

) i see that you have a good grip of focus, light and...you know...all that kind of stuff. however, i think the picture is a bit boring in a way.... i think it would be a bit more interesting if you maybe didn't have the butterfly in the middle of the photo

but other than that it's really an amazing photo

What do you think?

And this time, the contrary, you center is and it looks so perfect with this leaf only centred and nothing around except a lovely and magical bokeh. You a good feeling for the composition

That's awesome... Blows my dislike of centre composition out of the water. Perfectly captured, and an incredible background too.

Haha, thank you! I must confess, I never seem to follow the rule of thirds, it seems to be the main rule I enjoy breaking the most.

Lovely picture! I love the placing of the butterfly, right in the middle. The colours of the butterfly are totally different from the other colours in the picture so it seems to jump out of the picture, great work!

-Have you given though to recapturing this moment, or is this a once in a lifetime event -type of photo, if not, I would love to see what you have in store for us in the near future…

~Raydawggie Jun 2, 2012

I always loved your nature shots. It's rare to see such a delicate creature captured so peaceful and still in its natural habitat. Butterflies are amazing up close.

Thank you so much, that's wonderful! <3

~DudelRok Mar 31, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Okay, now this one has some (e)motion to it. The butterfly really looks like it is ready for take off. ..yet, it's still fairly unmoving at the same time.

In my opinion, great step to what I like to see... but it's only my personal opinion.
