Wow, this is stunning Linn. The colours, the two large bluish/purple circles just glow. The browns are so soft and velvety. Love the sharpness of the purple flower by its head. This is an amazing first capture.

Lovely colourful shot Linn and it suits the square format perfectly. Focus is good but I think a shallower DOF (using f/2.8) would have blurred the background more. Its definately a butterfly as can be seen by bobbles on the feelers. Moths feelers are sharp at the end. Regards, Graham.

While this photograph can be in any scientific journal or magazine, it goes a step further because of its artistic qualities. I like how you included some details in the background, and in keeping certain plants recognizeable. That gives us an idea of this animal's natural surroundings. Really good work, Linn!

Linn, here is proof that it is a butterfly. In this (not very good image) you can see its rolled-up proboscis or sucking organ.

Dear Alex, I am not being modest, I am proud as punch! Obviously, it is not in the same class as the other super duper macro shots of my peers, but for me, with the camera/lens I have, I am soooo proud to have captured this :-))
It would have been great to have shot it at an angle, but I am not complaining too much. She co-operated and spread her wings beautifully, and I am satisfied :-)
Thank you for your kind comments - much much much appreciated :-)
Regards Linn

Ilona, a while ago, I was so proud to post an image of my first "butterfly" but then it was pointed out that it was in fact a hairy moth! Big joke :-)
So when I got this one today, I was so happy, even though it is not a great shot, but finally I did get to photograph one :-)
