[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I post a similar butterfly a while back which really did not do justtice to such a pretty butterfly, I hoppe this ones a little better.
Here a little note about them
This species is common throughout the old world tropics. It is also known as the lesser wanderer, due to somewhat migratory habits. Caterpillars feed on milkweed plants, using the toxins in these plants to make them distasteful. The bad taste is retained in the adult phase, and this species displays bright orange and black colors to serve as a warning to predators of the strong, toxic flavor. Several non-toxic butterfly species occurring in the same regions have similar color patterns, giving them protection from predators by appearing to be toxic as well.

Despite the quality of picture I like it

Hi Luis
That is a very good shot.Colors details and composition are very nice.

Beautifully captured,with good colours and well composed...(magandang mariposa)

Hello Luis,

There is something strange with that picture. Colors don't look natural (maybe too saturated). But your pov is great and you did an excellent composition. The blurry bg is also colorful but the white is a little bit OE. Good try,

Michel

Hi Luis,

Sharness , collours ,composition , details ,BG are PERFECT.
it's a pity the flowers are a little OE.

Great capture.

Too much colour saturation (green does not look natural). DOF is not enough to have the head of the butterfly in focus.

TFS,
