[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Today it was really hot for our region. At over 900 m altitude there were nearly 30 degrees Celsius. I tried to take some photos of butterflies but I had no luck. All were flying away at me first attempt to approach them.

Suddenly a big butterfly passed quickly near me and sat on a flower at about 30 meters. It was the beautiful Iphiclides podalirius. I fallowed him without big hope. Surprisingly he continued to feed even when I was close. I started taking photos with my 60mm macro objective. He fed a couple of minutes so I had time shoot.

This is one of the photos I was able to take.

Hi Cristian!

You're lucky man! This butterfly is still on my to-do list, I hunt for it for years! Great frontal POV with perfect sharpness and spot-on focus. Nice composition with thistle, good, pale colours of BG.

Hello Cristian, great details on this beautiful butterfly shot, well composed too, good note. Thanks!

Hi Cristian,
Very nice shot, from a good perspective. You have managed to get big parts of the butterfly very sharp. The only thing I think of is the background. It´s a little bit busy and I wonder if there are any possibilities to make it softer?
