Hola Juan,
Wow - this butterfly is fascinating, never seen anything like it before.
Great low POV that shows us great details. DOF is good having it all sharp.
Also good background with contrast with subject.

Hola Juan,

Excellent picture of this very strange but wondeful butterfly!!! I'm very impressed!!! What kind of flight has he? You managed so well the pov and the light that we can easily see the scales of the wings which looks iridescent by nature. The abdomen looks very heavy too! Congratulations fot this superb shot and TFS,

Hi Juan, that's one very interesting butterfly. I've certainly never seen it before. It's technically good in this shot, my only nit would be that it is one a paving slab. Well done.

Me parece buenisima de definicion y color, una mariposa muy vistosa sin duda. Las texturas y la dificultad de la luz estan a su punto. Lo de menos quizas sea el soporte Juan. Un saludo

You live in a neat part of the world, so much more fauna and flora than what the great white north has to offer. Some consolation, anyway.

Tal vez la composición no sea la ideal por el sitio donde se encuentra posada la mariposa Juan, pero el sólo hecho de capturar algo tan bello y maravilloso, amerita su publicación.
La imagen tiene un correcto POV, DOF y foco, mostrando absolutamente todos los detalles del insecto sobre ese fondo contraste.
Tal vez sea la mariposa mas hermosa que han publicado en TN... y la has retratado en forma sobresaliente.
Gracias y hasta pronto... Ricardo

This is one of the MOST beautiful butterflies I have ever seen. The thumbnail view of this suggested for a second that this was someother insect due to its tails. But then I saw the green beauty.

Very GOOD work for a hand held shot.

HI JUAN
Esta foto es una de las mejores que he visto que ilustre alguna especie neotropical de Licaenidae, es sencillamente espectacular, digna de las mejores caratulas que se publiquen en alguna revista especializada. Se trata de una hembra de Arcas imperialis (Cr.) que se distingue del macho por esa manchita morada a nivel discal, FELICITACIONES!!
