Love those wings, to bad though that petal is in the way on the first one Nikola but still a lovely shot. The last one now is really nice!

I saw my first butterfly of the season last weekend, an Eastern Tailed Blue, quite small and it never gave me a chance to photograph it. Nice set of images here Nikola

My favorite is the middle shot. The composition is so appealing and the out-of-focus background keeps the focus on the butterfly.

Thanks for sharing, your images are all excellent.
