Hello Zdravko,
WELCOME TO TN!!!
You will some others field biologists and all kind of naturalists here. It's a great forum for sharing photos, exchanging experience and for friendship too. I hope you'll be an active member - Bulgaria has such wonderful nature to show...

By the way, this is an excellent close-up, with well saturated colours, perfectly controlled DOF and nice neutral background.

Thanks for sharing and all the best,
Michal

Hello Zdravko,
nice presentation of this Lycaenide butterfly showing very well its natural colours. Focus and sharpness are pretty good. Did you take pictures of Erebia orientalis and Erebia rhodopensis in the Pirin Mts?
Best wishes, Peter

very good close up, the blue color is so sharp in entire butterfly body make a good contrast to surrounding light grey background . TFS

Hello Zdravko,
That's a beautiful shot of this Lycaenidae. Good grey background giving to its wing-colouration all its light. Well seen.
Best regards

Hello Zdravko,
Welcome to TN! You start off with a splendid capture of Plebeius dorylas and with your special interest in entomology I'm sure there'll be many more outstanding contributions from you! The sharpness and colours in this capture are really striking, especially against the soft grey background.
Many thanks and best wishes, Ulla
