Hi TN people!

Another of our Neotropical Lycaenids; this is maybe one of the more exotics. It usually lives near the creeks of low forests, to the foot of the hills and mountains. It usually finds in spaces with little brightness, guest house on leaves. Is a fewer nervous that other lycaenidas of this region.

I had to use the flashbulb in order to to register her with more clarity. His wings' texture is gone out of the common, seems something like that as a washable leather, full of small hairs.

Regars,

Jesús

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

Hola gente de TN!

Otra de nuestras lycaenidas neotropicales; esta es quizás una de las más exóticas. Suele vivir cerca de los arrollos de nuestrs bosques bajos, al pie de los cerros y montañas. Suele encontrarse en sitios con poca luminosidad, posada sobre las hojas. Es una mariposa menos nerviosa que otras lycaenidas de esta región.

Tuve que utilizar el flash para poder registrarla con más claridad. La textura de sus alas se sale de lo común, parece algo así como una gamuza, llena de pequeños pelos.

Hi jesus
Beautiful, sharp image of this fantastic butterfly. Great species. Good exposure, nice blured background (but with little noise) Composition is good but I thin that you could crop it a little bit from the bottom

Very fine details, good sharpness and colors too!

Ciao Jesus. An excellente DOF and spectacular colours in this amazing macro. Very good focus and POV.

Realmente impresionante por su belleza Jesús. Ultimamente se están publicando unos Lycaenidae sorprendentes. Yo guardo una que vive en la encina (Quercus) que es el árbol quizás más abundante en España junto al pino y que publicaré otro dia ( no tiene la calidad de las tuyas jajaja).
Gracias por tus elogios, que aunque algo pasados de "rosca", siempre se agradecen, más viniendo de un buen fotógrafo.
Abrazo: Josep Ignasi.

Hola Jesús,

Fantastic macro capture of the butterfly with vivid colors! The sharpness and POV are perfect, and the green leaf giving great contrast to the light colored banded butterfly. A wonderful harmony of colors is shown by your composition.
Well done!

Hola Jesus,
a beautiful species, a nice specimen and a perfect capture.
It's interesting to see the coinciding forewing and hindwing markings. They are in continuity!
Best wishes, Peter
