Merhaba Sinan,
Excellent macro!
I like a lot the color contrast here, you putted into this vivid deep violet and the bright yellow.
I like so much the sharp and clear details got on the butterfly, the texture on the wings and eyes are stunning!
It's very good the vertical pose of the insect and the compostion made to take the best of it.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

Merhaba Sinan Bey,
Müthiş bir kare, espirideki cüretimi bağışlayın ama başka ifade edece yöntem bulamadım. Adeta kelebeğn vesikalık fotoğrafı olmuş. Elinize sağlık, selamlar.
