[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
There are many amazing Salt Lick on the planet where the animals gets minerals. Río Tambobata in Peru is famous for Aras and Parrots, Khao Yai in Thailand for Elephants and there are several Salt lakes in Africa famous for milions of Flamingos. The same thing we can see in macro world. This butterfly is one of many others, which concentrates in Kaeng Krachan National park river banks. Hope you enjoy him ! Petr (it is funny to use Tele lens as macro)

Hello again, Petr

Another stunning photo from you!
Your timing here was impeccable and you've captured a terrific pose from this magnificent butterfly.
What i also like here is the exact and exceptional choice of DOF - very shallow - that isolated your subject superbly fro everything else.
Outstanding sharpness in the details and charming colors, too.

Bravo and TFS
Horia
