Hello Seyfi,
You managed the exposure remarkably well under such harsh lighting. The wings are so pretty with those large eye spots and intricate patterned markings. The name White-edged Rockbrown describes this little beauty perfectly. Tac sharp focus, attractively composed with plenty of DOF, what else could you ask for!!
