For fans of the Lycaenidae!

Today I found one that had not photographed before! ...
I could tell from the wet grass, early dawn,
I think was warming up with the first rays of the sun,
then go to feed.

The place where he was resting the butterfly,
it was difficult to reach, could not bring much the lens
of the camera for fear that the butterfly was flying,
so I kept MACRO mode with AF and use some zoom (3X)
to scale the insect without scaring.

=======================================================

Para los fanaticos de las Lycaenidas!

Hoy encontré una que no había fotografiado antes!...
La pude divisar entre el pasto húmedo, a primera hora del amanecer,
me parece que estaba calentándose con los primeros rayos del sol,
para después ir a alimentarse.

El lugar donde estaba posada la mariposa, era difícil de alcanzar,
no podía acercar mucho el objetivo de la cámara por temor
a que la mariposa se fuera volando, así que mantuve el modo MACRO,
con AF y usé un poco de zoom (3X) para aumentar
a vista del insecto sin asustarlo.

Hi Jesus,
lovely composition of this butterfly. Great sharpness and clarity. The contrast of this whitish and green background is so pretty.
well presented and i actually like the view of the grain on the leaf so clear.
