Many thanks for your kind comments, Arwa.
Usually, once I've resized an image for the web (at a max of 800 px wide or 700 px deep), I use 'unsharp mask' at settings of 85%, .6 px and 3-5 levels to sharpen it right up. I find it usually works a treat!
I hope this helps.
Kind regards, Chris

Your Fred is really a covergirl, are you sure you haven't taken a photo of Frederica? ;-)
But it is a wonderful photo, too utterly marvellous. I hope one day I'll manage to take such a nice macro of an insect. Unfortunately the insects in my garden don't know how to pose.

Ahhhhh I remember Stephen's "Utterly Butterfly"
A beauty!
Fred is also a beauty, The pattern on his winds is amazing. Wonderfully captured. Interesting details, great DOF and the composition is fantastic
I love it!
Best regards - Emgy

You're spreading this title a bit thin now Chris.
Terrific capture of the butterfly though. Can't make out if you've got Stephens knack of catching them with spread wings (Haha)

Hi James,
Steve put up a picture called 'Utterly Butterly', I then posted one called 'Utterly Batterly' and followed it with 'Utterly Butter(f)ly'!! Don't mind us, we're just a bit nuts! Welcome to Usefilm!!
Kind regards, Chris
P.S. Thanks for the comment!!

The butterfly is perfect but the highlights on the white flowers look blown, the only quibble on a beautiful shot.

Nice going Chris, a great capture. We have very few butterflies around here anymore. About the only ones we have are small ones from pests of the farming community. Don.

Well... Fred certainly is a real beauty!!! No Not so strange he wanted to have his portrait taken (SMILE). Next time send Fred to me.... I can use some patient butterflymodels. I just haven't succeeded to "catch" one myself.
Great colors and composition Chris! Love it.
greetings,
Diana.

Sooo, how do you know it's a 'Fred' maybe it's a 'Sally'!! LOL
Nice image Chris, I sure don't know how so many people manage to magically capture these things when careful focusing, DOF and movement are all so critical to macros...HOW??
But you got one, and a pretty one at that! Awesome markings, dots, diagonals, stripes...pretty!
I like the blue tinged curved leaves in the background.
Nice job,
Lori :)
