Hi Peter

Another photo filled with natural! ... from the insect to the quality of the rock bottom, all passed naturally. It seems as if it were to suddenly go flying! ..

The sharpness and POV are well done and the DOF is very fine too. The coors of the butterfly give nice contrast to the rocky structures.
