[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Small Copper

This butterfly is very widespread and often common to abundant depending on locality and time of year. It is rather small but the bright upperside rich orange red colouration makes it stand out from a good distance. It flies fast and usually low making it difficult to follow on the wing. It is very variable in extent of the orange and on the upperside hindwing the presence and extent of blue markings and the underside hindwing brightness.

Hello Horia,

A superb macro capture of the beautiful Small Copper butterfly with nice details! I like the sharpness and POV here with great show of natural colors. A great contrast can be seen between the colors of the butterfly and the eye-catching flowers on which he is perching.

Very well done!

Hi Horia,
Beautiful capture showing this gorgeous butterfly in a fantastic environment. Try faster shutter settings in a scenario like this and try to avoid burned areas of lighter levels, you can always mask in a photo editing application and correct the darker values to achieve optimal results. Still a fantastic shot!
