Hi Mircea, excellent macro of this swallowtail. The detail on his wings and the thistle especially is incredible, with brilliant colour.

Thanks, John

Hi Mircea

Lovely colours, especially the purple/lilac of the thistle. Looks great against the dark BG. :-)

Hi Mircea,
Beautiful crisp clear image and wonderful colour and composition.
regards
Matt.
