Hello Ricardo,
What a nice photo. TFS

Hi Ricardo!
The technical jargon in your note notwithstanding (which promises to be good for techno enthusiasts), this is an absolutely sharp and crisp picture of a lovely butterfly. You made my day. Cheers!
Ram

Beautiful colours and POV. Very good detail and the lighting is great.

Well done

Hi Ricardo,
This is an outstanding shot. The light was very soft, and your exposure has given beautiful saturated colors. The detail is very sharp. EXCELLENT!

Hello Ricardo, very nice butterfly. Good colours and details. I would suggest cropping off some from the right and below, apart from that it's a great shot.

Very nice Ricardo. The exposure and color look very good. Sharp detail, Very well done.
Thank you!

Wow Ricardo, esta mariposa es preciosa, me gusta mucho la forma de mariposa que dibujan las venas de sus alas, la belleza de sus pliegues luce muy bien, su diseño es fantástico así como la intensidad el color capturado me gusta también. El efecto que le da la luz a su abdomen es atractivo de observar. Esta foto me gusta como para establecerla de fondo en mi escritorio. Tu nota, como siempre: muy buena, me pregunto cuánto tiempo te pasas en promedio para documentar una mariposa???. Saludos Cordiales. *Ninfa Urania*

Hello Ricardo!
Wonderful close up.Colors,sharpness,POV,details
and composition are excellent.TFS...:-)

Hello Ricardo,

Sorry, no time for a decent comment, but definitely worth a ;-)

Well done!

TFS.

Hi Richardo. "I have some caterpillar and butterfly" you said. You are too modest, your images are both varied and beautiful. I am drooling all over my computer (not such a nice image!). I cannot believe the colours in these and you do them full justice with your technique. Sharp, well exposed and nicely composed. Very well done :)

Una de mis mariposas favoritos. Lo encuentro muchas veces en el Arizona y cada vez que admiré su elegancia.

Saludos de glacial Romania :-)
Petru

Hi,
great shot with nice colours, note and composition!
Great macro with good details!
Ana:)

Great colours and capture. Cropping - maybe would have been better with less on the right? Stilll good - points later

Hola Ricardo, has logrado una muy bella foto con buenos detalles de las alas y colores.
Con respecto a tu pregunta, nunca las he visto en mi zona, pero no me siento autorizado para dar una respuesta definitiva
Saludos cordiales
