Hi,
Very interesting and nice macro. Excelent composition with perfect details and colors.
Regards, Krzysztof.

It's realy amazing picture. Near my home is small colony of these butterflies but I've never seen so many butterflies from these species in the same place!

Emmanuel,
that many of a species that is considered to have become rare - together in one spot! Very impressing congregation, excellently taken with perfect sharpness in a beautiful light that shows the shapes of wings in a three dimensional way. For a butterfly shot taken outside the tropics, this one really looks spectacular.
With thanks, and best regards,
Peter

Impressive!
I've never seen this many butterflies collected in one spot at the same time, and you even managed to get the three center ones within DOF range. Good handling of the whites as well.

very impressive. they seems ship at regade.

Great stuff here!
Colours, DOF, and sharpness are perfect.
WEll done.
Cheers, RAdim.
