Gorgeous Macro! Beautiful colors of the butterfly and the details of it's wings is superb. Great composition as well. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work.

Hi Umit, very nice and stunning photo of a great butterfly. I usually try this kind of images and I know how difficult it is to achieve this great result. Could you share some details ? I mean shutter speed, ISO, aperture, hand held or tripod and last ... did you postprecessed the background to have it uniform color ? Thank

Thank you, what about the background ? Was it so or did you improve it by postprocessing .

Wonderful butterfly shot Umit. Nice colours, perfect BG, nice details on the wings. But second antena is out of focus a bit and square croping would be better in this case IMHO. Still very good job. Regards Bohuslav

You have all the technical stuff right, exposure, OOF BG, DOF, it's parallel to the camera to help the DOF and it's very sharp and detailed.

I like the position in the frame and the negative space on the right. The colour of the flowers works well with the butterfly and the bit of green ties it to the BG. Excellent!
