    I believe this butterfly belongs to the family Lycaenidae. This was shot early morning with almost no wind just a light breeze every couple minutes. Camera on tripod triggered with remote.

    I have seen similar butterflies to this in Spain but I am afraid I cannot remember the species precisely.
    Foucus and composition looks good but I think your colours are awry. I would suggest the white dropper on a white area of the butterfly at raw conversion would help. (DPP or ACR/Lightroom)

    I like the simple diagonal of the composition, the clean background, the overall sharpness, and the water drops that add interest. The color balance strikes me as a bit on the blueish side. You might try warming things up a little to see if that looks better. Otherwise, this is very well done!
