Ciao Silvio
The blurred backdrop helps a lot on this image.
Beautiful composition.

Best wishes

Hi Silvio,
Interesting PoV, and the textures of the wing looks similar to bark of some trees for first sight (for me at least). Very effective shot, also because the well blurred background helps us to concentrate on the butterfly only. Great work!
Kind regards from Ireland, László
