[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Cris shot this buttlerfly in the same place I captured the close up shown two post ago. A lot of Pieris butterflies seemd to like this particular place, although there was many other wet muddy places around, but they preffered this. I suppose it is because here they find the minerals that this insect obtain by drinking in this places.

I know this is a Pieris butterfly, but I looked several species and I must recognize that I am not very good identifiying this beautiful subjects.

Hope you like!

Hola Felipe y Cristina,
Extraordinaria exposición de los blancos, pose impecable, fondo bonito... Quizás no seas un experto en mariposas, pero sí en fotografiarlas :-)
Abrazo, José M.

Hello Felipe and Cristina,
This is an excellent close capture of Pieris napi. They're certainly not easy to identify.
Very impressive sharpness and fine natural colours. Lovely eye!! Fine composition too.
TFS and regards, Ulla

Hello Felipe,
The texture in the wing is so impressive, very well captured!
Good point of view and fine tight framing, bright natural colours!

Hi Felipe & Cristina,
An excellent capture. A beautiful butterfly. Was there this single butterfly mud puddling. I have read that they tend to mud puddle in a group. Anyway very good colors, lighting and details. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Hello Felipe and Cristina,
Wonderful detailded image of the Green-veined White you've shot Cristina.
Sharpnes and exposure are spot on and the way the butterfly does stand out against the darker BG is beautiful.
Thanks for sharing.
Warm regards and have a nice weekend,
Harry

Great quality and very beautiful butterfly, the sharpness is great.

Superb shot Cris, amazing sharp details, especially around the eye. I'm very impressed with the camera / lens combination, it has produced a superb result.
Excellent composition and DOF. The whites are perfectly exposed.
I don't think anyone could get a better capture of this species. Exellent work.

Hi Felipe,
a very nice picture with fine details and sharpness,
the textures in the wings are well seen. The DOF is good as well, the entire insect is within focus and the BG nicely blurred. And I do like the low POV, it's great.
Very well done my friend.

Have a great weekend.

PS I think it's a Pieridae may be Aporia crataegi but I'm not sure
