Pandita sinope sinope

Richardlbong · 16th February 2006

This uncommon butterfly was taken yesterday at MacRitchie. The Pandita sinope sinope is seldom encountered in the forests reserve. This is the first time I've seen this butterfly in MacRitchie.

nice shot but it would have been better if the leaf was either totally sharp or more blur
right now it is neither here nor there

Thank you Ortega for your kind comments. Unfortunately the butterfly is sitting flat on this leaf and if I open up the aperture to OOF more of the leaf, part of the wings will be OOF and if I close down more, the sharpness of the leaf will detract the attention from the butterfly. What do you think?

then i would prefer the sharp leaf

because right now, parts of the leaf are already sharp and not that distracting
