Hello Tomas,
I don't think I will be seeing this beautiful creature in my part of Europe unfortunately. Such a beautiful blue well captured.

Hi Tomas, I love this fresh POV on a butterfly. Novel POV, beautiful exposure and colours and lovely BG and composition. Well done :)

I'm very happy to see these shots Tomas! You have improvements really! Here is what i like much in the photography! Great and different pov! I like its pose, wings, antenneas and the tube! All are amazing! Wonderful bg also! I think that rainy days were end in Prague! Great shot! Thank you :-)

Great shot I love to see photos of butterflies head on. Good BG and frame. Maybe try this shot again and see if you can get to look up under butterfly to catch light through wings. TFS Allan

I like very much this kind of POV for butterflies, most shots try to get the wings and there are other beautiful perspectives to play with, like this one.
Nice exposure, colour and details. TFS.
