Heinz, another very beautiful insect.

I enjoy colors, pov and the blurred bg. Lovely contrast.

The left wing suggests great and hard battles.

Very funny caption, Heinz!
Yet, even with a broken wing, you have given this butterfly all the beauty through immaculate DOF and composition in relation with the budding blooms in the background.

Hello Heinz,
What a great close up. Marvelous macro, lovely and wounded butterfly. POV, good details, nice colors, sharpness and framing. I like POV and composition too. Well done.

Sure, Heinz, this butterfly is grounded ;-) One of my favourites - burning colours look great.

Hallo Heinz,
uii den hat ich ja ganz verpasst, dabei ist er trotz seines beschaedigtem Fluegel ein toller Falter. Eine schoen Bildgestaltung und Schaerfeverlauf.

Hallo Heinz,
eine strahlende Offenbarung!
Herrlicher Farbkontrast und sehr gute Farbwiedergabe. Und sehr harmonisch komponiert.
Das fehlende Eck im Flügel macht den Falter für mich noch interessanter - die Abweichung vom Normalen, die auch in der Werbung für Interesse sorgt.
Sehr guter Beitrag.
Mit Dank und besten Grüßen,
Peter

ID: Der Falter könnte ein amerikanischer "Gulf Fritillary" sein - Agraulis vanillae L. (auch: Dione vanillae), zumindestens aber ein naher Verwandter davon.
