Beautifull, Ricardo! It looks like frozen flame. Great colours and patterns on insect's wings, good composition. I like nice looking flower on BG. Note is also interesting.

Great detail, color and light Ricardo. Beautiful B-fly. Perhaps a bit more DOF..

Hola Ricardo, definitivamente creo que tu tienes una magia o un lugar secreto de las Mariposas pues has publicado mariposas preciosas que yo jamás he visto en mi vida. Tu portafolioes espléndido y ultimamente veo que estás manejando muy bien la riqueza de la intensidad de los colores como se aprecia aqui en esta foto, la belleza de los tonos cafés y rojos-naranjas. Felicitaciones. Saludos Cordiales. *Ninfa Urania*
