Indeed, this is a pretty butterfly from the Blues family, Ivan.
The tinge of blue is prominent on the open wings and the darker markings at the edges make the wings look very attractive.
The image is technically outstanding with fantastic focus and colours on the subject and the neutral BG really does wonders in this picture.
Thanks and regards.

Hi Ivan,
Very beautiful image, great colors (light bluish, holy no doubt), we don't see this blue coloration on the blues found here. Simple composition with contrasting background to highlight the beauty of this Holy Blue. tfs.

Hello Ivan !
What a wonderful shot of this butterfly, so nicely detailed, so sharp, we can see each little hair clearly. The composition and the POV are excellent too, as well as the pose of the butterfly, showing her beautiful wings - I like her color, with dark framing. Good to know, also, that sometimes the females can be more beautiful than the males ! :-) Very well done !

Hello Ivan,
a true-colour presentation of this holly blue which I mostly observe in flight - never resting.
You selected just the right angle to bring the body, the wing surface and the antennae in focus.
The light is well balanced so that neither the white scales of the wing margin are over-exposed
nor the background is under-exposed.
Best wishes, Peter

Blue indeed! Much more pastel than any other..I have added it to my blue theme...I think these fine images really are a gift from the creator...a way of saying "I'm sorry I made the ant eater so here is a beautiful butterfly":-)

Hi Ivan,

You fooled me! The colors are so pretty I was sure it was a male. This Holly Blue is positioned so beautifully on the leaf. Wonderful blues, nice details, and a lovely composition.

Hello Ivan,

Your photo shows so well the nice and delicate colors of this tiny butterfly! Very well chosen DOf showing well the pattern of insect's wings, body and head. There is a fine contrast between the blue of the wings and the nicely rendered green of the leaf beneath.

Thank you for sharing.

I wish you and your familly a Happy New Year,
Cristian

Hello Ivan,
At least a female butterfly which is more attractive than the male!! A butterfly I have seen quite often here in Bern. Not easy point of view for this picture, but well photographed with the focus almost on the whole butterfly. I also would like to thank you for your kind wishes and that I have found entrance in your favourite photographers which makes me very happy:-)
Mes meilleurs voeux de bonheur et de santé pour 2009.
Amitiés
Anne

Hi Ivan,

Interesting to see a prettier female of this unique specie. The framing of this shot is beautiful and the semi-opened wings and the perch at the tip of that leaf is beautiful. Very neat work with shallow depth and well exposed details on the wings. TFS.

Have a great weekend and best regards,
Jusni
