Perfect photo of this Pieridae!
We can see "the veins"!
Perfect sharpness!
Wonderful color!
5* photo!
Not common in Portugal.

Guten Morgen, Heinz,
Du bist schon früh am Werke um uns diesen wundervollen Falter zu presentieren.
Die Schärfe ist atemberaubend, die Augen mit den dunklen Punkten kommen wunderbar zur Geltung. Farblich alles aufeinanderabgestimmt, wieder einmal ein Juwel aus dem Fotoarchiv, das unerschöpflich zu sein scheint (bei mir inzwischen auch, die Festplatte platzt aus allen Nähten, gestern habe ich wieder ca. 100 Libellenfotos gemacht, ok, nur 10% davon hier verwertbar, aber es fällt eben soooo schwer, auszumisten und was wegzuwerfen!)
Ich wünsche Dir einen wunderschönen Sonntag, hoffentlich verzieht sich der Nebel bei uns,
tschüssi
