Beautiful! I love that he is looking at the camera and the water drops are delicious!

Question and a couple comments, how on earth did you get a butterfly to sit still for a 10 second exposure?? The stem is tilted, I would straighten that out. I think the water drops deserve more of the spotlight, do you have any closer crops of it?

Get to 'em early enough in the morning, and they don't move much.

Nice image, Fabio. I especially like the clean background vs. subject.

ohhhh I'm sorry, The time exposure is not 10 sec but 1/10, I corrected. I don't have a close up now but I will make it. Thanks Fabio

Lovely shot!

Just perfect. I would not straighten out the stem because now the butterfly's body is nice in a vertical line.
