Hello Maite,
Such an excellent shot of the underside of a Queen of Spain Fritillary, well composed with fine detail and lighting conteracts the negative aspect of showing the tip of the finger that it is sitting on.
I have often found that if the butterfly is docile enough to sit on the finger then it is possible to carefully persuade it to step on to a plant by gently pushing the finger on to a suitable perch.
TFS and best wishes, Ivan

What a friendly little butterfly, Maite!
You mean it obliged you readily by skipping over to your finger? I am amazed.
Well, this one-handed shot has turned out to be a beauty, to say the least. At that close proximity not exceeding three feet at the most, the image is as sharp and beautiful as it can be at that distance. The details and colours are just perfect and your fingertip provides a veritable scale to assess the size of this Issoria lathonia.
Regards.

Hi Maite

A very beautiful macro from you, again!
I really have no problem with the finger in the photo. Actually it's welcomed for it gives a good impression on the size of this little beauty. Also, it allows a great viewing angle and a clear, blurred BG.
The details and textures on the butterfly are terrific and very sharp and the natural colors are lovely.
Well done!

Bravo and TFS

Hello Maite,

my congratulations for your cheerful interpretation of "digital" photography!

And my congratulations for this brilliant, powerful close-up! Sorry I'm a bit late to join in, but due to excessive work these months I've been on TN not that regularly as I wished to be. Very pleased to see the Queen of Spain so refreshingly and proudly well presented by the Queen of Spanish Butterflies.

With thanks, and best regards,

Hallo Maite
What a brilliant shot. A beautiful butterfly, with excellent sharpness. I just love to look at butterfly images because their patterns and markings are delightful, and each one is different from the other. Each pattern and marking tells a different and beautiful story. The most of the times the colours are vibrant and attractive. This photo has both of those things going for it and that is just great. Well seen and captured. Thanks for sharing, and have an enjoyable day.
Best regards
Anna
