Paulo, outro belo macro.

Gosto da composição e das cores vívidas.

Excelentes contrastes e nitidez.

Parabéns.

Great capture Paulo. The soft, light brown colours of the butterfly works great here on the green background. Sharpness and details are very good and the composition with the butterfly out of centre - I like it very much.

Nice to see the note in English - my Spanish is no good at all and the translator is almost as good as me;-).

Hi Paulo
