Hi Paulo
Great capture of a lovely butterfly. The colours are just spectacular. Crystal sharp details visible thanks to a good DOF at f/13 and excellent exposure. The composition is also very nice.
Very good work. TFS.

Hi Paulo,
delightfully composed, very well detailed shot of that pretty species.
A little bit of noise and some hard, totally black BG spots could be cured by postwork.
Besides that: a very winning, excellent shot. Interesting notes, too.
Thank you! Best regards,
Peter
