Hello Felipe, great capture. Very well done to get these mating. I've never seen this butterfly before. The only critisism I have is that it is a shame that the head of the butterfly on the left is a little soft in focus, but that's easy for me to say now.

Well done.

Oh wow, this is good - as I suppose one butterfly also said to the other afterwards ;-))
Great capture with good sharpness and details and sufficient DOF to get all 4 antennae into the DOF range, nice colours.
I think they're the same as our yellow ones, and that Mogens has captured one, but I never have..

Felipe, indeed, a lovely shot.

Excellent and warm colors, great composition.

Dof is great too.

I still don't have an SLR camera, but it's great to check out you are already doing great things with yours.

I added your picture to a theme of mine.

Very clear, lovely and interesting photo, Felipe! The lighting is superb with darker background. Depth of field is very effective here. A very nice photo to gaze at!

Hello Felipe,

Congrats on the new camera! I hope you like it as much as I do. :) It's a wonderful photo. What a pose and what a composition; perfect. Great colors and sharp details. The foucs on the head of the left butterfly is indeed a wee bit soft, but that's a minor nit. Well done & TFS!

Regards,
Pieter

Such a GREAT shot!
The mating of this species!
What a lucky one!
5* photo and favourite!
Excelente details and sharpness!
I think it's a Colias crocea (Geoffroy, 1785).
In Europe we haven't the C. interior.
We have nine species of Colias, but not the C. interior.
The european specie foodplants are:
Trifolium, Medicago, Onobrychis, Lotus, Coronilla, Melilotus, Hippocrepis, Astragalus and other Fabaceae.

Very good macro, nicely composed and good light Felipe, its like a mirrored image. Interesting to see how butterfly's mate. F13 would have brought both into focus, its what I prefer for most macro shots unless I desire a shallow DOF. Nice work.

A butterfly was already indeed but two, that likes of the miracle! There is a marriage of colours with the eyes of the butterflies and the environment everything in green. Excellent shot!

Un papillon était déjà bien mais deux, ça tient du miracle! Il y a un mariage des couleurs avec les yeux des papillons et l'environnement tout en vert. Excellente capture!

Hello Felipe!
Personal assessment of the photo: excellent.
Strong visual impact.
Aptness of the photo for the site: excellent.
Personal assessment of the note: complete. I find the idea of using the note of an another member very great being myself a lasy man ;-)
Thank you very much for sharing.
