Unha polilla ben bonita, na mihna vida vira tal cousa. As cores son incribels e a foto ben detalhada.
Paulo, tehno moitas ganas de baixar ata Caceres facendo unha ruta polo interior de Portugal, dixeronme que e precioso. Eu cohnezo a costa ata Lisboa, e o norde tudo o longo da fronteira, mais o interior non o conhezo.
Xa me diras dos sitios que pegan a pena! Saudos.

Paulo, this is a lovely image. I think the colours are fantastic, making it almost ethereal. Great BG and DOF and lovely composition. Really well done, TFS :)

Paulo, I do enjoy the colors a lot.

Excellent lighting, pov and blurred background. The butterfly is very beautiful.

I tried a workshop.

Wow what beautiful colors it has! So lovely against the green.

Beautiful colours on this little chap, I've never seen one like it around here. Good sharpness, details and POV. Interesting to see this one, TFS.

The colors are beutiful and pose is very well chosen, but the focus is slightly shifted and the wings are a bit out. But doesn't hurt the great picture!

Thanks

This moth has beutiful pastel colors. The POV is also very nice as we can see the details in the body as well as the pink colors.

Hello Paulo,
A wonderful picture. This wonderful looking butterfly that you presented here is well seen and appreciated. TFS
JC

very nice colors. Composition too centered.
Agree on workshop from livios for a proper composition. I would have left the stem on the right though. Maybe a blur on it instead of removing it.
Great pic anyway. Thanks for sharing.

Very good picture. Nice colours and composition.
Nice smooth background - thanks

Chris
