Hi Silvio,
The rich sumptuous green bokeh more than adequately provides a good contrast to the butterfly. Sharp and well focused, there are no visible technical flaws. Please accept my congratulations for this mighty fine posting. Best regards...
Danilo

Ciao Silvio,

Another wonderful capture, with excellent pattern and colour details of this sharply focussed butterfly.
I like the angled composition and the fine bokeh.

Have a good day,
Bev :-)
I'm off to France tomorrow. Maybe ther will be some butterflies for me to see there|!

dear Silvio,
a very clear and beautiful picture of lovely Lycaena,
Japanese name is "beni-shijimi"(beni=red, shijimi=shell), and we can see lots from spring to summer.
this looks spring-type, in summer the dark pattern on the wings becomes more large.
thank you for your excellent macro shot of Lycaena,
Akihisa

Dear Silvio,

this is one of the best shots you made lately. Although all of your macros are perfect, perhaps I lvoe this one specially is because of the pov or angle or something... Beautiful!

Have a nice day!

E bravo Silvio. Un colpaccio niente male. Com'è che per quella di ieri le misure non le hai messe. Ah già non te le avevo mandate.....e quel fannullone di Lucio ormai si interessa solo ai fiori.....
