Hello Paul!
Fantastic picture! Perfect sharpness and contrast to the bg! Clear colours!
I think it is "Heliconius sara" from the family: Nymphelidae, but I am not sure.

hi paul

laurent

Lovely capture Paul,
I'd say this is small Blue Grecian (heliconius sara)
The details are nice, clear and sharp.
Good colours, lighting and exposure. DOF is spot on and the POV is good.
Well composed and nicely framed.
Thanks for posting, have a great week my fiend.

Hi Paul,
A very beautiful shot! Vibrant color saturation and nice sharp detail. The isolation from the OOF backround is superb. Great quality light here. Very nice camera work my friend!
Scott

Nice capture Paul!

DOF is great, sharpness and exposure couldn't be better. Composition is simple and efficient. With wings extended, it would be perfect.

Great work and TFS.

Alain

Hello Paul, excellent colours and lighting. It's all good. My only very tiny nit is that it's a wee bit soft in focus on the head. Very well done.
