Hi Cecilia,
WOW! What a stunning shot. Fantastic detail, beautiful light and colours, perfect exposure and DOF, simply stunning. I have a lot of Cabbage Whites in my garden and they always look so plain, i'm sure they'd be pretty pleased they're being portrayed like this on TN, so on behalf of Cabbage Whites around the world a big thankyou :-) Beautiful shot.
Regards,
Adrian
