Hi Silvio,

The insect is well placed in the frame. The point of view is showing the details of the Callophrys rubi butterfly. The sharpness is very good. The light is enhancing the colors. Have a nice day.

Ciao Silvio
Beautiful color of this butterfly and pleasant background.
Nicely photographed.

Ciao Silvio,
Beautiful macro with great sharpness and fantastic glowing colors on the wings. The plain, grey background is also a plus, it helps the viewer to concentrate on the butterfly only. Nice shot, I like it!
Kind regards from Ireland, László
