I feel very happy today. Was driving My truck and hear in differnt radio station a lot of little children asking to the people to protect the Monarchs when You drive.
Many of them die this way, so slow down Your speed My friends.

Hi Luis
Fine capture of the butterfly...Very colorful and detailed...TFS
Jim

Your Monarch has such a striking resemblance with our Plain Tiger, Luis.
This is a prize capture with utmost clarity, immaculate details and rich natural colours.
The yellow flower provides great support to the composition.
A truly wonderful image.
Thanks for sharing it.

Una muy hermosa macro de D. plexippus. El iluminación, los colores, fondo y los colores contribuen para una imagen atractiva.

Un abrazo fraternal,
Ivan

Muchos dias ya sí, como pasan los dias cuando llegas a una edad jajaaj.
Bueno, un placer que te acordaras de mi y me votaras, ya sabes que te considero un destacado en Tn y es que tus trabajos me encantan.
Hace poco fotografié a una mariposa de este mismo género que la que tú publicas, que hasta hace muy poco había sido citada en contadas ocasiones en el interior de la Península Ibérica y adjunto te envío el enlace:

Tu toma, como siempre, preciosa; quizá en esta ocasión la veo un pelín saturada jajaja, pero es que me da miedo criticarte. Qué difícil es captar bien la cabeza y el ojo de esta mariposa !
Buen trabajo.

Bueno Luis, buen fin de semana y hasta pronto: Josep Ignasi Tejedor.

Olá Luis.
Essa é uma das minhas espécies favoritas.
Ótimo contraste, cor, ponto de vista e enquadramento.
Até a próxima.

Hola Luis,

Muy buena captura, a pesar de la incidencia -un tanto difícil a mi juicio- de la luz; los detalles de esta mariposa se aprecian de forma muy fiel respecto a la manera como se ve de forma directa. Muy buen trabajo, excelente enfoque y buen manejo de exposición adecuado al caso.

Saludos,

Jesús

Hi Luis.
Once more brilliant close-up from you. Butterfly and flower are simply amazing and you have reflected their charming coloutration,, shapes and other details fantastically. Composition of the shot is spot on too as well as nicely blurred BG. Bravo. Ultimate work.

Hola Luis,
siempre maravillosas tus capturas,
pero es que una monarca es de lo mas bonito que tiene alas,
derroche de colorido e iluminación.
saludos amigo.
