Orange butterfly- low key

Ariadne merione, the common castor, is an orange butterfly with brown lines whose larvae feed almost exclusively on castor.

This species is found in south and southeast Asia.


Their wingspan ranges between 30–35 mm.

Awaiting feedback to improve my knowledge.

Thank you.

Hi Dr Sunil welcome back - I will jump right in - I've had a closer look at your fine image only to be very disappointed - So I have t ask is this a very small part of a larger image??? - It's very pixilated and lacks any power of quality. - This is not up to standard to do anything in selection sorry to say...

Hi Dr Sunil Yes that's a lot better but still not the high qulaity needed for a shot like this. - With most maco and close up images High Quality is the key that opens the door to a published andawared images. - This is just my view. - Yes I could clone out the white distraction bottom left and add some texture to the butterfly - Would that make a published image maybe not.

The second photo you uploaded is much better in my opinion.  The original, with the strong editing could work as an 'impressionist' image, but unless the effect looks strong and deliberate some viewers may mistake it for an editing issue. 

 

When you send a photo to 1X it's best to upload in full resolution - or at least 2500 pixels wide or high.  The website re-sizes photos to fit the various pages they will be displayed on.  Some image quality may be lost in the re-sizing process.   Here in Critique your butterfly has been enlarged from the 1154x1117 pixel file you uploaded to 2000x1936 pixels. 

 

I've taken a screen capture and edited it by applying some sharpening, blurring the background, and removing some of the bright things in the black area.

PS:  afterthought . . . perhaps the background should be darkened a little - it's very bright, especially on the right side.
