DanNPV That's a geat close up! Lots of detail, i can see the scales on the wings which is great. It appears to be natural light which is good but I personally find tricky sometimes (ie when to flash when not to flash). You must have been working pretty close to the subject and that's hard to do with a live subject and even more so for a stack. Very good job

Hi DanNPV , as Chavezshutter very good close up with great details, however for me is hard to understand the subject, if I’m not wrong this is butterfly taken from the front ?

First class stack DanNPV. No halos or other kind of failures. Very good sharpness and framing. Chavezshutter mentioned also some other points like the good light which really looks very natural. I really love it!

Thanks. Chavezshutter
yeah, it was natural light. I find that with some subjects if you have a bit of patience the subject will settle down and allow you to get close.
Jack thanks and yeah its the side of the front of a butterfly.
