That's a beautiful butterfly, Juan.
The details are sharp, and you did a good job of catching the iridescence in the wings. What a gorgeous blue.
TFS. : )

Hallo Juan, well presented and clear outline of the butterfly against light and dark background parts. Angle and light are just right to show the blue iridescent colour.

Hola Juan.
Esta es una hermosura y los detalles y colors son perfectos.
Tengo una de las mismas que tome en la Florida pero la pobre estaba casi en pedazos.
Saludos.
