Hello Ulla,
It's butterfly time these days. There are so many beauties to admire on TN.
This one also belongs to it. The clear colours, sharpness, details, POV and DOF are excellent. Great composition.

Hi Ulla,

This is gorgeous!! The beautiful butterfly on the lovely yellow lantana is just breathtaking. What a beauty this Queen of Spain is with those exquisite wing patterns and edgings. Captured perfectly with a superb pov, colors, details and compostion.

Hello Ulla,

This is just fabulous!
Not only is the butterfly superbly focussed and detailed but the leaves and the flowers look good, too.
The light is really good to bring out the colours and patterns on the wings.

As yet, we have had hardly any butterflies in our garden this year. I planted a buddleia earlier in the year in an attempt to entice them. We will have to see what happens!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Very fine details and colours mixed together. Add that to the natural surroundings which you have developed well in your garden and ....well it is like the line from the old move "Build it and they will come..." Some baseball fantasy but the words are so true. I know this for sure. If I don't put feed in my bird feeder, then it only takes 2 days for them to stop looking and reverse is true..So whatever you have that attracted this one...keep it:-)

great macro for your rare visitor, Ulla. excellent focus and details. Superb colors and lighting. POV and composition also very nice. It is rare for you, but relatively common species here. I also saw it in even our univ. campus. But I couldnt capture with a great shot unlike yours.
best wishes
