Hello Silvio,
And attractive shot of this pretty little white. Every vein in its wings can be seen in sharp detail. I like the point of view and your colors are well saturated and natural. Wonderful exposure in a difficult light situation.

Hi Silvio,

This is the first time that I am seeing a butterfly with only white & black patterns on its wings. Lovely natural colors & the details have been captured so nicely.

TFS,

Warm Regards,

Hi Silvio,
long time no see. ;-) Just popped in this was the first I saw.
A very rare butterfly, even in my country where it lives on maybe 2-3 places.
Good exposure with lots of details and the insect stands out well from the BG.
Well done, old friend.

Regards
Gert

Hi Silvio,

The vegetation is framing well the insect. The point of view is showing the details of the Parnassius mnemosyne
butterfly. The light is bringing out the colors. Have a nice day.
