Merhaba Muftafa !
An excellent capture, very well done and played.
Have a beautiful evening,

Hello Mustafa,
This is a very good picture, with excellent colours and detail. However, I think your identification is mistaken. I am fairly sure that this is not a Common Blue but in fact a Copper. It may be the Sooty Copper, Heodes tityrus, or the Purple-shot Copper, Heodes alciphron. As it is a fairly new specimen and taken just a few days ago, I suspect that it is a male H. alciphron. Thanks for posting.
Alan

Hello Mustafa,
A very fine macro, not of P. icarus, but of a male Sooty Copper (Lycaena or Heodes tityrus). The composition may be a bit too central but it's a nice shot with good colours.
Thanks,
Regards,
Ivan

Mustafa bey selamlar,
Neredeyse tüm sezon gördüğüm sevimli minik kelebek ...
Güçlü güneş ışığına karşın; renk ve detayları makro değerlerde.
Kadraj ve alan derinliği çok yakışmış.
Emeğinize sağlık.
Seyfi
