    Re: butterfly

    Welcome to PR, boeiend
    Good timing.Interesting (moth-like) butterfly.Where its wings moving?In this capture the nicely textured,tack sharp leaf(great metallic color) is focused,the butterfly is not. Camera auto focus can get confused, in high contrast situations such as this M-focus can be more effective.

    I suggest a tighter DOF to isolate the subject,at the same time create a great bokeh so the main subject will pop off the sceen.This is a very busy background,that can be very distracting.
    When composing this type of subject lense choice is crucial, I feel one must try to fill the frame with your main subject. Zoom in (if your lense allows) Macro zoom lenses can be very effective w/tripod. Just my thoughts. I'm no expert,I'm here to learn.
