Very good composition, very nice colors and details!

Hallo Roberto
10/10 for this striking image! I like it very much. I like the soft colours captured on both the butterfly and the flower. It creates an almost innocent and pure appearance and mood. The details of both the flower and the butterfly are striking and I think this is an ideal combo and a great presentation. I like the hairy body of the butterfly and the lovely zebra striped antennas. The green background is just lovely. I also like the viewpoint. I like, oh what the heck, I like everything in this image! An all-round pleasing image, which I enjoyed looking at. Thanks for sharing. Kind regards.

Ciao Roberto! Nice lightness, delicate colours, perfect exposure, ideal contrast and sharp. Amazing macro. Ideal frame. Well done!

Ciao Roberto,

Eccezionali la cattura. Gorgeous colori con alcuni più in alto. Appare come una navicella spaziale, grande giocatore.
Una bella giornata,

Hi, Roberto
your butterfly is a male Lycaena tityrus. An excellent head-on shot, with all the key areas within the DOF - quite an achievement at this distance!
Regards, Nigel.

Ciao Roberto

Ciao Roberto,
An unusual and interesting capture of a male Lycaena tityrus taken with excellent sharpness and DOF from this frontal POV against a nice neutral BG. The WS images are helpful to confirm the ID.
Thanks and best regards,
Ivan

Ciao Roberto,
per l'ID ti hanno già risposto e in base all'immagine in WS soprattutto, ma anche già da quella che presenti, si poteva capire di che specie si trattasse; una delle farfalle preferite da Luciano che però la presenta sempre con le ali chiuse, tu ce la presenti in un eccellente POV frontale con una perfetta messa a fuoco, molto belli e luminosi i colori.
Grazie e complimenti
Ciao Maurizio

Ciao MF Rob,

Delicadeza en esta toma, con una luz y colores naturales. Gran nitidez además del conjunto.
