goldfinchtr Gold Star Critiquer/Silver Workshop Editor/Gold Note Writer [C: 176 W: 22 N: 366] (1432)
The photo had been taken in Kızılcahamam Woods at 1650 meters.Opposite of many European countries you can see lots of Aporia crataegi's in Turkey and before I read some information about this butterfly,I was thinking that this's a really common one like Vanessa atalanta.

The weather was cloudy when I took this shot and Olympus D545 used to take this photo from 25 cm.

A small note:"When you look at the picture please write some critiques because I am putting in work too much.I like Treknature but,when you put a photo nobody can see it after one day in the first page."
