Hi Krzysztof.
One of the best shot of this amazing species. My heartfelt congratulations. Light of the picture is the key point of the shot I thinks. It underlines the texture and colouration of the butterfly by the best way. Wingspread of the insect and your POV are also sweet as well as the whole scene. Bravo, my friend, Breathtaking work.
Alexei.
