Hi Jan!
Amazing shot of this beautiful acrobat!
Great colours, fantastic details and ... superb summer shot!

Beautiful light. Very good details - outstandingly sharp for the very small size of a Cupido minimus that is very well presented. Perfect composition.
Thank you! Best regards,
Peter

Fairly good shot, Jan.

Nice picture Jan!
I like the composition very much.
Congratulations.

Hi Jan,

Ahoj Jan!
Another sunny, summer and colorfull picture of butterfly. I like colours and details on its wings, head over heels pose also looks good :-)

Hi Jan,
Nice colors, good light and details seen in your little blue. Composed well also. Well done. Thank You!

Hi Jan,
sooooo beautiful, this is one of my favourite butterflies, so small and so pretty.
It also would look nice if you turn the shot 90° to the right, only a suggestion.
Thanks for sharing, I like it very much

Hello Jan,
a very fine macro shot. Excellent detail and good tones of colour. A great capture, very well done. Thank you.

Great portrait of this really little Lycaenid.
We have it in Romania too, and upon my knowledge, it is the smallest member of Lycaenidae to live here.

Regards, Petru
