Hi Juan, What an unusual butterfly. The coloring on his wings are beautiful. Your composition is good and so are the colours. Janice

This is a very beautiful shot of the long-tailed skipper. I have never seen a butterfly with such "long tails". I love that blue and brown together, just gorgeous. The details are very sharp, and the POV is perfect with the butterfly sitting in the middle of that green leaf, making a perfect background. TFS. : )

Hi Juan,
Beautiful butterfly to see. Nice composition and pov. Well seen and well done. TFS
