Very nice. Good colors. Good depth of field. Tripod? Fill flash?

Yes, nice depth of field, hard to get these little guys all in focus. Where did you find it? Looks very similar to the prairie ringlet butterflies we have here in Ontario.

Dear Rose-Marie and M. Huber:
I used a tripod to take this photograph but did not use a flash. It is a male of the species Hyponephele lupina, which lives in southern Europe and northern Africa. I found this one on the bank of river Drina, which runs along the border of Serbia and Bosnia.
Thank you for your comments,
Zoran
