Hello Juan
Unusual and beautiful butterfly - the blue color is striking. Background is soft and nicely out of focus.

Hello Juan, this is a pretty butterfly, I love his teal/green colours and the pink and orange on his wings and body. You are lucky to see it in the wild. Here (in New Zealand) we have to go to a butterfly zoo to see these sort of butterflies. Well shown, thank you
Janice

Hello Juan,
What a striking Riodinid! The best thing about this shot is the beautiful colors against a suitable background and the butterfly is almost sharp. We have only one Riodinid in Europe, The Duke of Burgundy, which is pretty but not as striking as the ones found in South America.

Hallo Juan,
thank you for posting a picture of this colourful Riodinide. I think, life pictures of this species are rarely if at all presented. Composition and colours are nice, sharpness could be a little bit higher (I tried a workshop and hope that you like the result).
Best wishes, Peter

hi Juan,

WOW nice shot, maybe will be nicer to have more space in the front.
nice colour, spot on sharpness.

TFS,
cosmln
