Wow, this is so amazing. The detail you captured is way over the top. The wings look like nets and the way this is holding the petals of this flower. I gather you used a macro lens on this shot? Love it. FAV
@darsphotos -- Thank you for so many generous comments on all my photos! For this one, I used my 70-200mm lens, at 180mm so I was fairly far away. I cropped to remove the extra space around it also, so perhaps I was about 300mm away? I used f/10 to try to get all the details, raised the ISO to 400 although it was fairly light out, and used aperture priority to get the shutter speed of 1/320. .
@jyokota You are very welcome. I am still so lost in the world of DSLR's and manual settings. I am learning by asking though and thank you for explaining.
