[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Old World Swallowtail (Papilio machaon), is a butterfly of the family Papilionidae. The butterfly is also known as the Common Yellow Swallowtail or, simply, The Swallowtail (a common name applied to all members of the family). It is the type species of the genus Papilio and occurs throughout the Palearctic region in Europe and Asia; it also occurs across North America, and thus is not restricted to the Old World, despite the common name.

A very fine capture of a fresh-looking P. machaon taken from a fine POV to show it feeding with its wings open with excellent sharpness and colours against a good natural neutral Bg and set in a pleasing composition.
Thanks and have a good weekend,

Hello Horia !
Such a greaat picture of my favorite butterfly ! I really love the typical pose with the wings wide open, but I also like the vivid colors, the composition, the perfect details. It is a real pleasure for the eyes. Very well done !
Valérie.

Hello Horia,

This is a beautiful butterfly with the pattern mainly in black and white, and only the fake eyes as spots of colour!
Effective point of view and good DoF isolates the subject nicely, making it stand out on the background...

Greetings,
Pablo -

Bellisima mariposa captada con las alas abiertas mostrando su hermoso colorido y dibujos ,con gran nitidez y colorido

Hi Horia,

The flowers are framing well the butterfly. The macro view is showing the details and colors of the swallowtail butterfly. The light has a good effect on the colors. Have a nice day.
