[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a Papilio machaon, when I worked in the 'Bikaa' I needed to wait for one team to end their work. While waiting I was chaising outside this beatifull butterfly, it was not easy because it didn't stay for more then three seconds on the same place, at last I managed to take about three good pics of it and this is one of them.

I used shadow W/B to get warm colours, because it was noon and there was very bad light for photography.

The print version is in WS.

WOW WOW WOW! I have nothing to say except this is so beautufull, I love the position of the butterfly and the DOF makes it jump right of the screen, good work:

An excellent shot,the colours and composition are great.
Great DOF also.
Excellent,very well done.

Beautiful capture with very good light, excellent focus and DOF. Catching the butterfly on a clean background is an extra +, catching it from the front is several times extra + ;-)) I think this is a swallowtail butterfly.

Very nice macro Elroyie,
I like the way you took this one, the composition is very good. One thing what I have to say to you. I think when you had cropped it some smaller, I think it was better, but ofcourse that personal my opinion, anyway, great job, my compliments for it.

Beautiful capture, Elroyie. I love the fine details and colours and again the sense of delicacy. It's the result of just some filigrane objects against the DOF-ed out emptyness. Great job.

...although it's a pitty that you didn't capture two of the papilio ;-))

Effectivement un superbe spécimen.
L'angle de prise de vue est très réussi, la pdc est très bien maitrîsée car le sujet se détache très bien de l'arrière-plan.
Bravo.

your lens is a good copy.
