Exquisite! Beautiful butterfly in a nice pose, perfect detail throughout, great light wonderful purple flowers on the perch, and nice BG.
Also like the presentation with the frame.
Is this butterfly really white - or yellow?
Well-done!

Beautiful, Fabio. Lots of great elements here - detail in the BF, the perfect light, the puple flowers, the well balanced comp, the mix of the three contrasting colors (purple, yellow, and green), and the exceptional BG. Mostly, though, I like the perch with the beautiful purple flowers on the graceful curving stem, and the contrasting yellow wings of the BF. This would be a beautiful floral image by itself. The addition of the BF puts this way, way over the top.

Fabio, I really like the colors in this down to the nice, green background. Nice work capturing both the BF & flower in pristine condition!

Lovely work here, Fabio. The graceful arch of the stem and the contrasts in color (yellow, purple, and green), really make this one special.

The first bluebonnets are popping up here in Central Texas, and I'm starting to see b-flies around..
Time to get out there and get me knee pads on

This up to usual standard Fabio, very nice!!
