Bonsoir Amadeo,
Que voilà un bel exemplaire de machaon avec de magnifiques reflets bleus sur l'aile inférieure. Il y a juste un peu de surexposition sur la fleur. cela ne se voit pas trop, car le regard est attiré par le beau papillon;-)

Bonita captura de esta bella mariposa que suelo ver sin los ocelos y con las alas tocadas, (debe ser un plato apetitosos para los pájaros). Me gusta la composición elegida. Saludos
