Excelente toma y muy bien encuadrada.
A diferencia de otras que ya has publicado, en esta se ven unos colores muy reales. En otras tomas tuyas se ven unos colores muy saturados y es extraño, ya que tu cámara es de muy buena calidad !
Un abrazo desde España y gracias por tu amable comentario: Josep Ignasi.

Hello Paulo !
This is an amazing butterfly, I had never seen it before ! The shape and color of the wings are so gorgeous, specially the two long "tails". You vae captured him with excellent details, excellent sharpness, and the textures on the wings are well reproduced. The lovely flowers and tender colors of the BG are also adding some beauty to the picture. Composition and POV are perfect. Very well done !
Valérie.
