Ciao Silvio,decisamente meglio del maschio,qui la qualita' è davvero impressionante,dettagli perfetti ovunque,grande macro senza dubbio. Buona serata,Luciano

Hi Silvio,

The flower is helping to frame the butterfly. The point of view is showing the details of the Polyommatus daphnis butterfly. The good luminosity is enhancing the beauty of the colors. Have a nice day.

Silvio a beautiful minimalist composition and a luxury the details that you have captured on the wings of this little wonder. I make a single observation, but knowing that it surely has to do with my taste and, therefore, not necessarily with that of others (pardon my madness) but is that seeing only the bare flower steak I feel a strange sensation of artificiality, as if the flower were placed in a vase. The presence of some minimal complementary elements, like the appearance of one, two or three leaves, or other flowers that accompany the background, I think they would eliminate that feeling of artificiality, which I clarify, Silvio, is just a sensation. Well, I hope you take this contribution as well, since it is more than well-intentioned, and then ... discard it, hahaha, I'm an old crazy ... A big hug of this descendant of Italian !!!
