entry description
Butterfly at sunset near the city of Sarny, Ukraine. I like the mysterious colors, the game of light and shadows that the sun at sunset creates. It is a short moment - a few minutes and the sun will hide behind the trees, and the earth will be enveloped in twilight. The last rays of the sun are skillfully intertwined with various colors and shapes of butterflies, creating an unforgettable natural ornament. The difficulty is not to frighten this fragile creature at the moment of photography, as well as to catch the moment of light and shadow crossing.about the photographer
