[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I've been searching a butterfly like this for quite a long time. Shooting them is not an easy task. Firstly, because they remain just 2 or 3 seconds on the flower they choose; secondly, because they don't seem to be accustomed with human beings. If one mentions to try to get closer, they fly away; thirdly (and curiously), I have the felling they're not expected to be found in flowery places. Otherwise, I usually see them where there are some almost dry bushes, where flowers are almost an exception.

Despite these factors, I managed to get this shot yesterday. Although it's not like I wanted it to be, it's not that bad.

And it's my intention to keep on going after them. Root for me...

Excellent shot Livio, she is a beauty! despite the shadow on her face, but it didn't effect the whole shot too much. Great details and sharpness on the wings, nice DOF and great colours! Thanks for sharing

Hi Livio, it's a lovley butterfly and the composition is super. It's a shame that the head is in the shade but it's still good, well done.

Bonjour Livio, l'exposition et les couleurs sont extras.

Félicitations pour lanetteté.

Another great macro Livio. The colour of the b'fly is great. Slightly OE on the wing but the light was against you. Nice work. TFS

Of course not bad Livio! I like scene and shadow over b-fly head while rest of body is in full sun. Wings are detailed and sharp. Nice, sunny picture!

Hi Livio,
This is a Cloudless Sulphur, Phoebis sennae (Pieridae, Coliadinae), male underside.

Best regards,
Dmitry
