Preciosa imagen Cecilia con muy buenos detalles en un BG estupendo. Agradable composición y magnífica nota informativa.
Saludos, JL.

Very good job, Cecilia! Great moment you captured. Congratulations!

Hi Cecilia
A good macro. You have a sharp head of this butterfly and the flower is in good focus. I would prefer less border and more image. I like the background. Well done.
Mike
