Hello MF Silvio.
Very good capture of Lycaena tityrus. Very good colours and sharpness. I like the composition and the background.
Best regards Siggi

Ciao Silvio,
a parte il fatto che č un po' "passata", anche questa farfalla ha una grande variabilitą nei colori, tanto che subito non mi sembrava una L. tityrus, ottima nitidezza e bellissima luce con colori luminosi, molto bella anche la composizione con le foglie che s'intrecciano.
Grazie e complimenti
Ciao Maurizio

Silvio

Ciao silvio,
A fine capture of a worn female variation of L. tityrus taken from a nice POV to show her open wings with excellent sharpness and colours against a pleasing OOF natural BG in a well-composed image.
Thanks and have a good weekend,

Hello Silvio,
What a beauty. Wonderful presentation of this butterfly. The sharp details are amazing and the colours very clear. Good POV and composition.
Have a great weekend,
Peter

Ciao Silvio,

Exceptionally well done macro capture of the butterfly with wonderful clarity and great details! The colors are perfectly natural and especially, I like the textures on the distal parts of its wings. The POV and DOF are well managed. The blurry BG is wonderful and gives great contrast to the subject.

Wonderful composition!

best regards,
Paras
