Lovely butterfly. From this pose, getting the entire wings within depth of field is tough. You were already at ISO 800 and at a lower shutter speed, so not easy to increase depth of field. Waiting for the wings to be flat would have been great. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Nice colours and patterns on the wings. The leaves and water around give a nice feel of the habitat. Agree about the narrower aperture. Thanks for sharing.

Butterflies can come up with amazing patterns on them. You got a good one too. Agree that a narrower aperture would have enhanced this image.

Wildwoods spa reminds me of the many bird images posted by Praveen earlier. Thanks for sharing.
