Thanks for your kind word of my previous post.
Today we was out on our famous "butterfly road", we was lucky to find several spring butterflies. Like this mating couples of Orange Wing Tip.
I hope you like it.

Some info from Wikipedia,

So named because of the male's bright orange tips to his forewings. The males are a common sight in spring, flying along hedgerows and damp meadows in search of the more reclusive female which lacks the orange and is often mistaken for one of the other 'White' butterflies. The undersides are mottled green and white and create a superb camouflage when settled on flowerheads such as Cow Parsley and Garlic Mustard Alliaria petiolata.[1] The male is able to hide his orange tips by tucking the forewings behind the hindwings at rest. On close examination of the mottling, the green colour can be seen to be made up of a mixture of black and yellow scales. The butterfly is found across Europe, and eastwards into temperate Asia as far as Japan. The past 30 years have seen a rapid increase in the range of the Orange Tip in the UK, particularly in Scotland and Ireland, probably in response to climate change.

Hi Gert.
It is a very beautiful scene. I like crisp sharp FG with main subject (two charming butterfly on a tip of leaf) and very pleasant nicely blurred BG with a bit smoothed leaves)/ Warm colours are also pleasant for eyes. I like composition of the picture a lot too. This season I visit my countryside garden very seldom and have not much experience of using D7100. After watching your shots the situation maybe will change. TFS and warm regards.
Alexei.

nice intimate capture, greetings Ori
