wonderful macro-shot, alex! :-)
good pov and composition,
beautiful butterfly filling out the whole photo.
excellent and colorful details -
i like the hair and the red-black-blue "eyes"
on the wings very much.
well seen & captured, thor.

Preciosa foto y preciosa mariposa. Saludos. JL.

Good sharp details.
A little more room around the butterfly would have been better in my opinion.
