Hello Aviar,

Your photo is very interesting and well made. I like the big DOf you have used keeping most of the butterflies in focus and therefore showing them in details. Colors of the insects are well rendered making a nice contrast with the darck background.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

Hello Aivar,

Very interesting pictures of those wonderful butterflies. I like the fact that so many species feed on minerals in harmony. Great light especially on the white ones. The only thing maybe is that I would have removed the 2 in the background which are out of focus.

Nice shot showing an interesting behavior!

Cheers!

Michel
