Hi Ridvan,

This is an unusual looking butterfly with the large white markings. Nice macro with a good black and nice details. You really like to come in close (smile).

Hi Ridvan,
Splendid close-up shot of this beautiful species. Very sharp image with nice colours and patterns on its wings. Excellent POV to portray its dorsal view and the green leaves as BG works well here. I like its awesome antennaes and the polka dots. Very nicely composed. Kudos.
TFS.

Hi Ridvan,
a great shot with nice colours.
Well done,

What an interesting specimen this is Ridvan! I love the pattern on its wings, beautiful details you caught and great exposure. I would have composed it by letting a little more place in front of the insect but this is really personal :) Thanks,
Claudine
