hi sergiio,
beautifully captured image of these mating pair. superb lighting and composition, showing both sexes very well for ID. somehow the color in the background looks oversaturated a bit. tfs.

Great shot - the moment has been well captured. The subject is sharp with good detail while the OOF background is just perfect.
Cheers
Elizabeth

Hello Sergio,
Commom blues really common here, I think that the most common butterfly especially in grasslands and wetlands. You captured this couple in copulation greatly. Superb colors, sharp details and POV. Nicely composed. Plain BG also great with fantastic colors. TFS, best wishes
