Beautiful and interesting butterfly Paulo. Good composition, details and colours. Thanks for sharing

It is great just to see the difference between identical species. the speckled woods that fly around the woodland around my house are much less orange and brown, more off-white and brown.

The bracken background always works really well.

TFS

bonjour,
très belle composition.
Le sujet est net, les couleurs tranchent bien.
j'aime beaucoup !
Bravo et merci

Paulo,

Great DOF and BG. The composition and POV are also good on this sharp pic. TFS,
Sheriff
