In the wing of a butterfly. Agressive crop. Post porcessing was curves, noise reduction, sharpening and cropping.

Thank you for your comments

Cool pattern to pick out of the malachite's wing- the pattern is very strong graphically. Maybe you shouldn't have cropped the corner of the green wing cell on the right...

Natures abstracts, can they be beaten, nope

. Very nice look and cropped comp.....maybe that extra as Tom mentioned on the right there. The colours and patterns/shapes all work well together in this. Man that is some fine crop. I doubt I could crop anything like this and get away with it. Excellent work Fabiolad.

All the best and looking just dandy

This is interesting. And I didn't know what it was at all (even my vague guesses were wrong) from the little preview picture!

We should have a recurring weekly topic / challenge titled "Challenge Tom". The idea would be find out how little of an organism you can show and Tom still identifies the species

Oh, nice photo by the way

Great concept Fab !!!! I think if you had the Bfly parallel the upper part would have been sharper /1!!

Lovely patterns and it gives me lots of ideas !!!! Friday is macro day !!!

This makes an interesting composition. The colors are awesome! I usually strive to shoot wing sections sharp from corner to corner but the OOF parts of this have a great texture and feel to them. I will learn the abstract stuff yet!

This is lovely. Very nice comp and the colors are gorgeous. IMO noise reduction should be the very last thing you do to the image. I don't know if your stated work flow is in order but, give NR as the last thing a try.
Thanks for posting this gorgeous shot,
