I love the way you have beads of dew on the wings. I'm not sure if it is a slight movement in the camera or the flower head but unfortunately the butterfly is blurred which is shame.

Hello Rimantas,
It is great fun to see the butterflies covered in dew in the early morning and you've captured that nicely but it's a pity about the focus which is less successful.
Better luck next time!
TFS, Ulla

Very nice photo. I like the dewdrops on swings. The photo was abit blured and the frame was not well yet but I like it.

Hi Rimantas,
lovely framing and I like the water droplets on the wings :D
not very sharp but I guess I'll be blaming that on the strong crop,
good work :)
Cheers,

Hello Rimantas,
in general a lovely picture of the skipper carrying the 'water-crystals'. Composition, colours and background are perfect. It's a pity that sharpness is not a little higher. Then ... it would be perfect.
Best wishes, Peter

hi rimantas
bien que le BG comporte un peu de bruit,j'aime bien les details sur ce papillon,notement les gouttellettes d'eau sur ses ailes.
bien vu.

Hello Rimantas

Lovely shot of this beautiful butterfly!
The POV is excellent and the DOF is impecable, leaving that great blurry BG.
Details are a bit soft (nothing a WS can't cure :)), but the cherry on top of the cake are the very small water drops...very well seen and captured!

Bravo and TFS

What a beautiful picture, Rimantas!
I love the little drops of dew on the little and beautiful wings of this beautiful butterfly. The photo is great in color, brightness, composition...
Congratulations.
