Stunning, simply stunning!! The detail is first rate. For the Latin challenged among us, could you include the common name?:)

Kristof my friend, looking at your butterfly collection I have a feeling you must have visited my neighbourhood, lol. And these are rather pretty small. But what I adore most about the photo are saturated colors.

I love the shapes formed in the background by the dof, in addition to the beautifully positioned and focused butterfly. Very nice, Kristof! - Patty

This shot has amazing detail. It's a bit blown out in the highlights but not enough to ruin the shot. Gorgeous color on this guy and it has good contrast. Well done. anne :-)

Great capture Kristoff. Don't think I have seen one this color of blue. It is beautiful. You really captured that outboard antenna. The butterfly's pose is nice also. Great work.

I took a picture of a gossamer winged guy that looked quite a bit like this, the coral hairstreak, though I'd say you've beat me quite handily in the detail department.
