Hola Jesús,

Lovely macro capture of the White-patched Skipper! The sharpness and POV are just ideal, along with great use of the shallow DOF. The colors are very natural and the textures on the wings are very well shown. I like the eyes of the skipper and its offcenter position in the frame. The details and notes on the picture are praiseworthy.
Great work!

best regards,
Paras Bhalla
