beautiful

Well composed. The blurred yellow candle holders in the background add a nice touch but the natural feel tends to be spoiled by the ones in the foreground.

Nice composition of the butterflies with their beautiful patterned wings.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 07:30:00 AM
Lovely close up. The background bokeh doesn't look quite so pleasing though and the wings seem to lack a bit of detail and contrast. Also the yellow of the near flowery things suffers some blown highlights.

Voted earlier coming back to leave comments. Great composition of the elements in this shot! Love how you have it a square crop to call attention to the diagonal position of these two butterflies. The diagonal 'visual' line that runs from bottom left to top right corner really adds more visual interest in the photograph. You have some nice sharp details on the butterflies from the antenae, to the legs and head to some portions of the wings. Now the critique...sigh, now she has to get nitpicky about it right;-) The butterfly in the left corner, his top wing looks a bit soft. That comes from the tight macro you needed to shot this at to get the wonderful detail on the main bodies of the butterflies. The wing was probably slightly further away from the area focused on. Using a smaller aperature and adjusting to a longer shutter time will increase the depth of field but because the butterflies might move you risk blur due to motion. But if they do not move you manage to capture some wonderful details of the full body and perhaps even get more of the backdrop to be in sharper focus rather than the bokeh look. Though that would be a drawback for I think that these two butterflies really pop off the page more with that soft focus. So any attempts in the future would meant experimentation with different setting to settle on what works best at the time of capture. Nonetheless a wonderful above average photo - 7.

The two butterflies on either side of the flower look like one giant butterfly.

Great shot!

Yellow is over. DOF could add if better.
03/14/2009 11:13:38 AM
I have a hard enough time capturing one, let alone two with their wings in the same position, "facing" each other, and close enough to get into the same shot. Love the black & white.

fantastic detail in their wings, I love the virtual mirror by having two of them

very lovely picture...just a little grainy...is that from to much cropping?

Nice shot. Twins too.

What a cool shot, at first I thought there was a mirror involved but now I realize that it's just fortunate composition! Great DOF.

Amazing capture!
03/12/2009 09:34:00 AM
The background is playing with the colors of the butterflies to much in this but they are unusual and sweet. Very nice subjects.

The butterflies are lovely but the little yellow blossoms really catch my eye. I would love to know what they are.

Beautiful, well done

Funny with the fake flower. Nice butterflies... The boked has some funky shapes...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 06:09:47 PM
Lovely butterflies and exotic (to me) flower. Nice diagonal composition. The top/right butterfly is a little more in focus; think a smidge more DOF would have gotten them equally in focus.

Nice tight close up. Good use of filling the frame.
