There's some sort of pure simplicity on this one that appeases my eyes and mind. I like the fact that you chose black & white and the rectangular disposition.

A nice subject and composition. The choice to make it black and white draws it out from the usual pictures of similar subjects (regardless of the reasoning for doing so... ) the tones and shades really accent the subject nicely, and the compositional choice with depth of field really draws the eyes to the subject. I wish the focus didn't blur towards the back of the butterfly but now I'm just getting nit picky. Nice capture, could you enlighten me as to your thought behind the long horizontal crop however?

Wow! Thanks for this great comment! I tried diffrent crops with this picture and it was like impossible to find one that was really good. After trying 10 diffrent crops i was finally satisfied. I think that this composition is nicely balanced with the flowers on the left side. The rule of thirds gets also a stronger effect when a picture is eee... so horizontal . Unfortunately I don't have a macro lens and this picture ended up with only 3mp due excessive cropping, well i can't afford one right now... :/

Anyway thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Beautiful! I never thought that a butterfly could look so beautiful in B&W. Great catch!

Thanks! This butterfly would look so boring in color, cause it wasn't colorful at all.

I love how you did this. It looks really nice with the butterfly as the focal point and the bg blurry.
