  • First, a BIG thank you to judge and I-SHOT-IT Team! I am Petar Sabol, nature and wildlife photographer based in Croatia, Gorican. I made this picture this spring, couple of weeks ago. There are some reach areas with water, small lakes and meadows..and plenty of insects. It was really interesting to find butterfly seeking some nectar but also mayfly still sleeping below. I was using Sony a99II camera and Sigma 180mm macro lens. As for post processing, there is just slight crop and color balance applied, along with contrast. Best regards, Petar
