Hello Ricardo. This is so lovely. The insect is colorful and very clearly captured. I love the extra splash of color provided by the flower here, too.

Beautiful composition Ricardo!
DOF looks perfect with the butterfly and the pretty red flowers being equally clear while the leaves below are blured enough to give us a hint at this interesting environment giving a slight 3d effect! Very nice!
Well done!
Superb job!
Thanks,
Dave

Hola Ricardo, buenos días: Creo que esta es una de tus 3 mejores acercamientos con las lepidopteras y la modelo es de las más bellas que he visto. Has captado una mariposa con una rica variedad de tonos naranjas enmarcados por las venas en tono negro iluminados suavemente, es magnífica la composición, espléndida en colores y detalles (me gusta mucho como estás administrando los tonos ultimamente, quiero imaginarme una mariposa morpho proximamente...), tu foto tiene un encanto especial que me invita a observar no solo a la mariposa sino recorrer la composición durante largo tiempo y disfrutar de cada detalle. Creo que la cabeza de esta mariposa es algo difícil de captar y quedó excelentemente enmarcada por las pequeñas flores. Disfruto de los tonos negros y de las manchas blancas que enmarcan a esta bella mariposa. Saludos Cordiales. Feliz din de semana. *Ninfa Urania*

Hi Ricardo! This is a good capture of a beautifull butterfly! Congratulations!

Beautiful and interesting composition for this superb butterfly ! Colors, exposure and sharpness are very good ! Thanks Ricardo for sharing.

Hola Ricardo,
what a nice photo, lovely bright colours and diagonal compo. I like the red sharpen centre (BF and flower are eye-catchers), and blurred green colour around. So detailed and clear!
Best wishes from Ukraine,
