Nice colors and composition. Exelent use of DOF so you get a good impression of the enviroment. Sharpnes is on the spot. Great shot.

I have been browsing through your photos and I really like your style with the bright and vivid colours, that's something I always try the achieve in the shots I take. I have a Nikon D50, but I recently bought a Canon G9 to have it always with me in my bag (just in case I see something I want to photograph) and I'm very happy to see what this little camera is capable of!

une superbe macro avec une belle lumière vive.
Le papillon est idéalement placé assez loin de tout autre objet autre que la fleur sur laquelle il s'est posé. Du coup le flou d'arrière plan est splendide et fait terriblement ressortir la netteté de ton papillon.
