Hi Luciano. One more to add to your butterfly list. The Holly Blue has been well taken with fine detail and bright colours. From you side POV we can see all of the wing markings. well done TFS.
Nick,

Luciano, che stai diventando sicuramente una delle insegnanti in questa fotografia farfalle. Che si sono eccellenti, la luce e la concentrazione sono grandi. Abbiamo notato che lei ha imparato a sfruttare il potenziale della vostra "handycam".

Lavoro ammirevole,

Saluti,

Jesús

Hello Luciano,
Excellent and very beautiful photo of this butterfly. The colours are gorgeous. Great sharpness and composition.
Best regards Siggi

Ciao Luciano,
con le ultime tue immagini hai fatto un salto a livello qualitativo abbastanza evidente e significativo, tale da far pensare che sia cambiata la tua tecnica di ripresa o la rivisitazione post produttiva, soprattutto gestisci molto bene la luce, eccellente sotto ogni aspetto, tale da farmi prendere in considerazione questa fotocamera con un fuoco così preciso per la macro o prendere un vero obiettivo macro, che però non avrà mai l'effetto grandangolo come quello della tua fotocamera/telecamera.
Grazie e complimenti
Maurizio

Hi Luciano

Hi Luciano,

I would love to see any blue butterfly flying around here - but it's not going to happen. This Holly Blue is lovely with beautiful colors and nice details. She seems to be dancing on the leaves.

Hi Luciano.
I have not met this species in a live. Your shot is amazing/ Selected POV is the best and details of this beauty are stunning. We can see every hair on the wings, body. Legs as well as all tiniest features of the butterfly. Exposure and colours are superb too. Bravo. Perfect work.
Alexei.
