Hello Silvio,
Very nice capture with a lovely specie. This specie is rare in my region in the past 3-4 years. Very good sharp details.

Hi Silvio,
The flowers are framing well the insect. The point of view is showing the details of the Melanargia russiae butterfly. The light is enhancing the colors. Have a nice day.

What a stunning ensemble of BG also daylights and front subject make it all well done again SILVIO SORCINI
Hi Silvio,
A little bit overexposured, but spectacular photo of a rare species. Nice DoF, and one of the rare occasions when the busy background isn't disturbing. Good shot.
Kind regards from Ireland, László
