[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
One of Europe's most widespread butterflies it is found from the edge of the Sahara to northern Scotland and northern Scandinavia to Greece. It occupies many habitats and is found from sea level to high mountains (up to 3000m). Not surprisingly there are many variations across this range. The constant feature that greatly helps separate this species from several others is the presence of a black spot in the underside fore wing cell. This distinguishes it from the otherwise very similar Chapman's Blue, A. thersites, and the larger brighter Escher's Blue, A. escheri. In northern Greece the Phalakron Blue, P. andronicus but this is so rare and local that it is unlikely to be encountered without specific expeditions to look for it. It is much larger than icarus. Confusion with other species is unlikely.

Good Morning, Horia!

Lovely composition with a great macro capture of the male Common Blue butterfly with nice show of its textures and perfect colors, taken with superb sharpness and from a wonderful POV. The colors are simply natural and very eye-catching. The blurry BG is wonderful too.
Great work, my friend!

Hi Horia,
blue and violet really give a captivsting effect. i like sharpness, clarity and the agile eyes of the butterfly.
The splendid soft green background works brilliantly in giving a lovely canvas to your composition.
well presented shot with excellent skill production.
