Hi Horia,
you bring the sunshine in my heard with that sunny butterfly.
I haven't seen a single of this specimen last summer ;-(
So thanks, it's beautiful and I love the colours very much.
Greetings

Hi Horia,

Well composed and good color tone!
The focus is applied well to this butterfly, I like color contrast between a yellow butterfly, purple flower and the background with green image. And, a clear, beautiful butterfly is drawing out a good effect in the whole.

Regards,
mikio
