Nice eye and face detail - the butterfly is a little worn, though.

Hi

A nice frame filling image - for my tastes I would have prefer more DOF ideally covering that front wing

But still a smashing image


All the best
Matthew

Love the image and subject.

Closeup detail is excellent.  The white foreground is a great contrast and is likely bouncing some light back on her. The curves in the background add to the composition with a relationship to the wings.

The faded color shows the age of this lady.  If this is a fall photo, I'm hoping she makes it back to Mexico.

Thanks for sharing.
