First of all, i want to thank You very much for this beautiful prize! I am delighted! I am Petar Sabol from Croatia and i love to take macro photos. This beautiful Marbled White (Melanargia galathea) butterfly photo was taken at sunrise with Sony a77 camera and lens was Sigma 180mm macro. I was using tripod and these settings : ISO50, F8, 1/6sec . Photo was taken in RAW, then i was playing some time to get most out of it and. Nothing special was done other than removing some dust spots, contrast, color adjustments and some selective shadows/highlights work. Thank You very much!
