Very common butterfly the Brimstone in sunshine.
The Brimstone (Gonepteryx rhamni) is a mid-sized butterfly. The male is yellow and the female is lime green. The caterpillars eat buckthorn leaves. Found in Europe, Asia, and even north Africa, it is one of the longest living butterflies, living up to nine months. |

Hi Rimantas,

Hello Rimantas,
I like the contrast between buterfly's and flower's colors. You have chosen a good POV and a well adapted DOF so nice details of insect's wings and body as well as pasrt of the flower can be seen in great details.
Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

Witaj Rimantas,
cóż za piękna kompozycja z Cytrynkiem latolistkiem w roli głównej. Doskonale oddane kolory ( ładnie kontrastujący żółtozielony motyl z amarantowym kwiatem), perfekcyjna ostrość i detale. Jestem pod wrażeniem!
Gratuluję i pozdrawiam
Alina
