Beautiful picture of a Small Tortoiseshell butterfly basking on a rock, Oana.
Very good focus, colours and composition.
Thanks for sharing this grand picture from your archives.

Hi Oana,
This is Aglais urticae.
One of the colorful species of europa.
The object (butterfly) must be a little big in composition. I think the stones are so much for thise photo.

Hello Oana
An great capture of Aglais urtica taken from an excellent POV with pretty good sharpness and set in a pleasing composition on the rock.
Interesting that you took this at nearly 2000 m! Maybe the colours are a bit oversaturated but it is a fine start to your butterfly photography.
We in Sweden long for sun and warmth. We have had no sun for a long time and here in the south there isn't even snow to brighten the day!
Thanks and have a good weekend,
Ivan

Thanks also for your kind critique on my 500th!

Hello Oana,
What a striking capture of the Small Tortoiseshell in a fine pose at the edge of a boulder. Fine details and I rather like the bright colours. Very nicely composed too although I would have cropped it a bit more on the right to place the butterfly off-centre.
TFS and regards, Ulla

Salut Oana!

Nice reminder of better and more hot times. As other said this is Aglais urtica, one of most common butterflies in my region. Agree with you completely - we all need summer with long and bright days! Picture looks very good, it could be slightly lighter maybe.

Hello Oana,
Beautiful photo of this Small Tortoiseshell. Sorry, I'm not an insect specialist, but I hope you don't care. Very good POV and sharpness. And you want some critiques, okay, in my opion a bit too much oversaturated and too much centered. But it's still a beauty!
Regards,
Peter

Hi Oana,
a nice butterfly picture who well composed with a nice POV.
The sharpness and details are also pretty good, maybe a bit closer had been a bit better,
But I find it a bit oversaturate a bit dark too on my monitor.
I did a wWS to show what I mean.
Well done.

Hello Oana,
How colorful this specimen of the Small Tortoiseshell is! A nice composition too, showing the butterfly on this stony ground. I like your not too close framing too.
Thanks
Have a nice evening

this butterfly has stunning colors but merging in the back ground.The dull dark background in the left up and corner is disturbing.Try to change the background for good contrast affects

A gorgeous butterfly Oana,
The colors are outstanding!! I love the composition and DOf along with just the right exposure!! TFS.
I must agree with you on the weather outside, I too can't wait until spring gets here.

Hi Oana,
a powerfully colourful image of Aglais urticae, fully spreading its wings in order to collect the infrared rays of the hidden sun in the cool air high up in the mountains. I like the composition, and the drab colours of background in contrast to that very conspicous butterfly, a rapid flyer, ready to take off.
Thank you! With best regards,
Peter
