The light does not get better than this, Joggie!
Heavenly, indeed!!! Perhaps, as other viewers suggested, the left side of the frame is superfluous and holds distracting elements? I suggest that the composition, as a whole, holds very well and that the left and top contribute to the framing of the subject. Consequently, I would not crop or minimize these parts.

Lovely colors & polka dots, like a watercolor illustration from a children's book - they should have names :)

Wow . . . what a bokeh here! VERY nice! It's not often bug porn looks so pleasant!! LoL! So these are Acraeas, huh? My first thought was a butterfly and now I find myself even more intrigued by the larger, thin, transluscent inner wings. Very nice Joggie . . . as always!

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~

Very nice macro of these two, Joggie! Looks like they didn't even notice you! I like the way the whole image is composed in front of the green background. Heaven indeed!

Double the pleasure, double the fun, Joggie. Amazing capture, Heck, I can't find a single butterfly and you catch them copulating.

What happened to your D70? Hope it was nothing bad, like it broke.

Best wishes,
Dave

Wonderful (com)position... (sorry, couldn't pass that one... ;-DD)!! Fantastic colors, details and DOF... well spotted and captured!! Might crop just a little bit more from the top and maybe the left (so that you lose the dark leave, which is a bit distracting)..... so in fact make it a square pic... ;-D

This is a beautiful capture. Two for one. It sure does have a wonderful background. Don.

Byron Dudley   {K:257} 12/27/2006
Nice shot! Although you might try having all the leaves completely out of focus or sharp. Right now the background leaves to the left are out of focus, but the leaf the butterflies are on are not as sharp but not out of focus either so it takes away from the subject. Also possibly cropping the bottom and left of your shot, yet keeping your subject off center like you have would help. This would direct the viewers attention even more so to your subject. The dark blurry leaf to the left of your subject distracts the most from your shot, eliminating it in cs or in your initial composition by changing the angle would make it even better. Hope thats not to critical, it's still a nice shot ;)
