Merhaba Seyfi,
A very fine macro of a fresh male morpheus. The POV suits the pose perfectly, taken with top sharpness and natural colours in a pleasing composition with the Rubus flower.
I wish this species is found in my country!
Thanks and best regards,
Ivan

Hallo Seyfi
What can I say more than what my predecesors have not said as yet? This is just so beautiful, and I am just wondering if we really appreciate everything in nature that is given to us so generously free of charge, like this beauty you share with us today? It is a gorgeous insect. Thanks for sharing. Best regards.
Anna
