Great POV of this white peacock. I am learning to recognize many butterflies from your beautiful photos. Beautiful colors and markings on this one. Seems to me maybe focus and contrast could be enhanced a bit? I like the composition and the BG of the sandstone. TFS. : )

Not an easy one Paulo,
the composition is nice, the pov can be done better I thinks so, the dof is very nice, so you did it very good here, well done.

Hi Paulo

A littled rushed this moring, so just a quick visit. Enough time to see that this is a well composed shot, with very good light and details. Good colour and POV. :-)

Olá Paulo,
ótima foto!!! Gosto das cores e do fgundo de pedras, está ótimo! A composição é muito boa mesmo!!!
obs: na foto da borboleta que tirei, não usei nenhum filtro, não tenho nem como fazer isso! A foto estava mais amarelada, acho que a câmera se encarrega das cores, saturação, sei lá!!!

Hello Paulo, uma outra captação boa do peacock branco. Composição diagonal de Nice e um POV bom. Eu encontrei estas borboletas quando eu estava no feriado o ano passado e era difícil começar um com suas asas abertas como esta. Um tiro bom. TFS

Olá,
que posso mais dizer as tuas fotos são sempre muito boas com umas bonitas cores fortes!
Gostei da macro e da nota!
Thanks ana:)

Hi Paulo,
very well composed picture of a very fragile looking species.
Delightfully presented variety of pale colours.
Perfectly chosen background to show all the very fine, subtle shades of colours on the White Peacock's wings.
Very pretty contribution!
Thank you. Best regards,
Peter
