Breakfast Buffet

Critique Style Requested: Standard

The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

We still have fritillaries active in the garden and they especially like the butterfly bush for breakfast. I love the underside of their wings so this view with both the top and under side appealed to me. I isolated the BG and blurred and burned it. All comments welcome. >=)>

Excellent job! The subject is gorgeous as is the flower. Blurring and burning are just right. I like the room around the subject. Top notch!

This is gorgeous, Bill. Wonderful detail , particularly on the eyes where it really matters. Your background blur looks fine. To my eye, the frame looks a little darker than necessary, but that’s a matter of taste.

Top notch for sure, Bill. As @Dennis_Plank said, it seems just a bit dark but it is still fine as is. What a beautiful BF. I love the colors of the flowers as well. Nicely done.
