Just when it opens its wings in the grass in the early hours of the morning, then one can understand why people from this region, called them "little angels".

This Anartia seems painted by hand!

The White Peacock (Anartia jatrophae) is a species of butterfly found in the southeastern United States, Central America, and throughout much of South America.

The males of the species display a unique territorial behavior, in which they stake out a territory typically 15 meters in diameter that contains larval host plants. They perch in this area and aggressively protect it from other insects and other male white peacocks.

Yeah, your model looks like a tiny angel....painted by God himself...:)
The lighting effect in your photograph is mesmerizing. Focus and sharpness are just perfect. And the unusual point of view can not be missed - very nicely composed.

TFS!

Hello Jesús,
A fine sharp capture of a fresh specimen of this pretty nymphalid butterfly taken from a a good dorsal POV to show its colours and features with exceptional clarity against a suitable contrasting leafy BG.
In this composition I think a third of the image on the left could be removed and the eye does not lead to it and concentrates on the right side of the image where the butterfly is. In other words it could have been cropped where the vertical dark blade of grass is. Best to show what I mean in the WS!
Thanks and best regards,
Ivan

Óla Jesús,

Lovely macro shot of the adorable butterfly! It looks so soft and tender. The sharpness and POV are great with wonderful contrast between the colors of the light colored butterfly and green BG.
Well done!

thanks and regards,

Hi MF Jesus,

The diagonal composition, the shrap focus on the beauty's wings, the pattern, and optimum tech settings make this a very successful posting. Your note is also highly informative.
TFS and cheers,

Bayram

Hi Jesus,

This White Peacock does look like a little angel. So beautiful with the lovely colors and artistic patterns. You captured it perfectly with marvelous details. Just lovely against the green leaves. I like your composition very much but do like Ivan's workshop putting more concentration on the butterfly.

Jane

Que decir de esta fotografía y lo que encierra... pues que es una maravilla !
Técnicamente bien trabajada por la luz y el excelente contraste con el fondo, el preciso enfoque y el acertado encuadre que permite ver ampliamente el entorno y sin perder además detalles del motivo principal.
La mariposa, como otra que publicaste, bien bautizada por los lugareńos, que siempre encuentran un símil acertado para nombrarla.
Una fotografńia con gancho y que marca diferencias por su gran belleza.

Un abrazo Jesús: José Ignacio.
