For a lack of new pictures a reminder of springtime...

This really was portrait, but I doubt it matters here.

Nice capture.
There seems to be a lot of noise, but it is not such distrubing.
The texture of the white part of wings could perhaps be improved (darkened a little to restore more detail) by Shadows/Highlights function of Photoshop (or by different settings when converting from RAW image, if shot that way).

I don't have PS CS, so the easy solution is out. I exposed this on purpose so that the highlights would not burn out. That is the reason for the extra noise. I may have something equivalent to Shadows/Highlights somewhere, so I may try this again from the RAW. There is just so much contrast as the wings were almost at direct angle to the sun.

in general anything what has curves function should be able to do that...

I've just finished postprocessing Parnassius apollo, have a look... the photos are not so good, but the specie is very rare (at least here in central europe)

Beautiful macro, wonderfully detailed. I don't think there is anything I could point out to make this one any better.
