Photographer's Note
A face to face with an old first generation Melitaea phoebe, with a special bonus on the top left with the fly that fortunately remained in focus. The colors are slightly altered due to the flash, which is necessary here to obtain a good brightness of the lower shadowed part of the butterfly.
Un faccia a faccia con una vecchia Melitaea phoebe di prima generazione, con un bonus speciale in alto a sinistra con la mosca che č rimasta fortunatamente a fuoco. I colori sono leggermente alterati a causa del flash, qui necessario per ottenere una buona brillantezza della parte inferiore in ombra della farfalla.

Lepi detalji na krilima leptira.
Dobar rad, lepa fotografija.
Prioroda je veliki umetnik.

Bonsoir Luciano,
L'insecte est spectaculaire. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails du papillon Melitaea phoebe. La qualité de la lumičre embellit les couleurs de l'image. Bonne soirée.

Hello Luciano,
Look how small the fly is compared to the "giant" butterfly! A double bang for your shot!

Hello Luciano,
With the sky as the background instead of lots of blurred leaves this is close to minimalism. Just a plant, a butterfly and a small fly. Very simple, very beautiful and very sharp.
Best regards,

Ciao Luciano,
I have never seen a photo like this before! It looks like you are below the flower on the ground and looking up, as if the butterfly was above you, and you were smaller than it.
Amazing quality of the picture. The details of the butterfly are so sharp. The fly is an extra bonus.
Spectacular final effet,

Hello Luciano,
A great photo of the butterfly on top of the flower, spreading its beautiful wings so wonderfully. Against and also very sharp capture of the fly as well.

another fabulous shot. I liked the unusual POV . the damaged wings of the animal shows it was in the end of its journey.
take care

Hi Luciano,
Obviously the butterfly would appear rather dark without the flash. Still the effect is quite subtle and many people wouldn't pay attention to it. The fly is a great detail and indeed demonstrates how short exposure time was used here.

Hi Luciano.
Another superb composition within the theme of butterflies, here the diagonal formed by the plant and the butterfly perched on it with the background of the sky, gives a nice perspective, also that fly that we see in the plane completes an image of great strength, it is One of my favorites from this series.
Sharpness, lighting, color, and magnificent composition; They are managed perfectly, in this beautiful image.
Good work. I like it a lot.
You have a good day. Very best regards.
Luis.

Hello Luciano, I attempted to post a comment on this when you first posted it, but it wasn’t to be!
This is a fantastic shot, looking at the insect from an unusual angle.
I am surprised that the flash didn’t startle the butterfly and make it fly away.
The fly was an unexpected bonus I guess.
Kind regards, Jean

Hello Luciano,
Did you have to lie on the ground for a long time with your camera pointing upwards until a butterfly landed on the flower above you?
I know you need a lot of patience to photograph butterflies.
The irregularity of the tips of the upper wings makes me think that this butterfly has suffered damage.
Excellent sharpness.
The warm tones of the wings against the blue sky are also beautiful.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Luciano
A magnificent rust red butterfly and the fly doesn't bother me. It's not a house fly, horse fly or blow fly which can be annoying. Good to get it in sharp focus too. Tfs!

Hi Luciano
yes, I had a feeling you used a flash, we can tell almost right away on the green flowers. Funny how that other fly is in the shot, its as if the fly is photobombing you :) lovely colors and sharpness, we can make out so many of the details. cheers

Ciao Luciano, Splendid photo of this butterfly on the interesting flower.
I try to do my best in Costa Rica, taking pictures of butterflies, I see them around and in Mariposarium, but my photos are not so appreciated :(.
Have a nice day

Ciao Luciano,
This butterfly shot is a bit different from your others, not just because of the fly, but also because the antennae of the butterfly are very visible. Usually there are leaves or flowers in the entire background, but in this view the sky makes a lovely backdrop for the eyes and antennae. Take care!

Hello Luciano,
The shocking truth of this photo ... the eyes say it all !!!
It seems to be saying to you wide-eyed , ' I have seen you before, you are the one who is intruding on our privacy '.
Even the fly is not having any of it ... flying hysterically :-)
On the other hand, I must admit ... it's a stunning shot.
I just love the majestic wings ... leave me breathless.
Tfs ... this real beauty and the 'frenzy' fly.
Loong
