Privet Ricardo.
Beautiful bright colours on a dim green background are very nicely looked. Two diagonals add charm to this work. Good work.

Hi Ricardo,
phantastic shot!
Razor sharp details, brilliant colours.
The bright silver spots are strikingly shining.
Marvellous portrait of that very pretty species.
Thank you! Best regards,
Peter

Hi Ricardo, you have done extermly well to capture the colors here, the sharpness is excellent on the composition front i would have left space after the butterfly head ( just my way of composing , not a suggestion)
