Hello Paulo,
today you show the next beautiful picture of a Melitaea species.
Almost the entire speciemen is included in tthe depth of field.
Only the right wing tip is a bit out of focus.
Background design, colours and light are well balanced.
Best wishes, Peter

Paulo, mucho realismo y gran naturalidad en los colores en tu toma. Increíble el parecido de algunas especies...
Buen encuadre y luz. Una toma sencilla y muy bien realizada, además, ideal para su correcta identificación.

Hello Paulo,
very precise and well approached capture of Melitaea cinxia, well lighted in pleasantly soft light.
I like the very good isolation from a well supporting distant background, with just a few edges of petals visible below.
Thank you! With best regards,
Peter
