Pretty good but would work better if the butterfly was not cropped and was sharper in the right image.

Nice work...but yes if there wasnt clipping it would be better.

Nice capture.

The clipping is due to the new forum update I think. If you view the image by itself, there's no clipping

Works well except for the previously mentioned reasons. I suspect the right shot was all you had left with which to work.

What I'm seeing is nothing to do with the forum. The edge of the wing, one antenna and part of the other are cropped.

The left shot is beautiful - with this pair of images I'd be tempted to ditch the right and just go with the single image on the left.

I agree that the left hand image is a standout. As suggested drop the right image and just have the left :wink:

:agree: Keep the left image.

In addition to this, I would crop the leaf from the bottom right side of the image. Once I noticed it, it kept drawing my attention away from the mian flower and butterfly.

Unfortunately, The second image was OOF as I just snapped it when the butterfly decided to leave the flower. I guess I wanted to 'make' it work by doing a diptych.

See above.

Hi Piro, I think people mean that I didn't capture the whole B'fly in the second.

Correct.

Fair call. I gave the left one 4 stars in LR. 8) :wink:

Thanks. I see a pattern developing here.

Well I have a few more from this session but perhaps not for a diptych that tells a story.

This I call - forbidden fruit....

#1 and #2 pity about the barbed wire - #2 may have looked very nice from directly above?

#3 gets the thumbs up although I'm not entirely sure about the crop

Have you considered using the othe rimages and making a tych image but not of images all teh same size or format? There are some tidy image sthere and I am sure you could arrange them in a fashion to improve teh presentation, even if there is not direct story.

I agree with biggerry and others. The first picture is
excellent; the second detracts from the whole. Use
another picture;maybe one from a diferent angle.

I thought the barbed wire added a sense of harshness which is offset by the butterfly. :P Art perhaps?? :surrender: :mrgreen:
