Hi Peter,
Extremely good details of this small and very hairy butterfly. It seem dressed for mountains! Lovely colors, texture and exposure.
Best regards, José M.

Guten Abend Peter,
ein 1A-Bild von einem selten gezeigten Bläuling. Über Fokus und Schärfe müssen wir nicht reden. Der natürliche Rahmen des Bildes mit dem geschwungenen und farblich abgesetzten Blattstiel gefällt mir. Der Tiefenschärfenbereich ist genau richtig gewählt. Ich hoffe im nächsten Sommer auch einige 'Hochalpiner' so gut einzufangen.
Schöne Grüße, Peter

Hello Peter,
The last time I saw and photographed this species was in the Austrian Alps, but that was before I became 'digital'.
This is a fine capture of the U/S in a natural setting.
We have this species in Sweden, where it is rare in the mts.
TFS this one mf,
Best wishes, Ivan

Hallo Peter,,
Dieser Bläuling hat eine etwas andere Unterseite als gewöhnlich, sind doch die Punkte weniger markiert. Es gibt diesen Schmetterling auch im Wallis,soweit ich weiss.
Herzlichen Dank, für Deine so klare Aufnahme und den Begleittext.
Liebe Grüsse
Anne

Hallo Peter,
Very nice composition of this butterfly on the green. I have only seen them on cowdroppings so this looks better.
The details on this butterfly are stunning. Good focus and very nice colours.

Hi Peter.
Magnificent macro. The butterfly is really outside of the monitor (and picture). This effect has created, I thing, by scenery (top and bottom sharp leaves on the FG at one side and remote blurred leaves on the BG at another), by DOF, by colours and by POV. This separation is very expressive. I like the fluffy costume of the butterfly very much. Excellent work by skilful tailor. I also like the pleasant soft lighting and restrained colours. They are suitable for your small beauty. Superb done and my best wishes.

Hello again, Peter:
I haven't been around for some time, and it's nice to discover this new posting from you. Just about everything has already been said about this photograph, and I particularly appreciate that you have been very gentle with the sharpening, as I don't think images of lycaenids "like" it. I will always think of this species as the Alpine Blue rather than Argus, as the males are very bright. They seem to be very thirsty little insects, too ;)
Thanks for this. Nigel.

Hallo Peter,
klasse hast du den festgehalten. Herrliche Schaerfe bis ins feinste Detail. Eine schoene horizontale Bildgestaltung mit passendem Schaerfeverlauf. Schoen ist die Farbenkombination und auch die Farben des Falter.
Klasse Aufnahme.
Gruss..Sky

Hi Peter

A fabulous shot of this little guy with his fashionably striped designer tackies. The brilliant butterfly looks absolutely life-like and ready to fly off to another perch at any moment so I’m typing this critique very carefully so I don’t alarm the insect and then cause it to vamoose.

A beautiful composition with exceptional colour and details. Every little feature of the butterfly is recognisable. A complimentary and very OOF BG with perfect exposure gives this posting a wonderful edge.

Good work and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Bella mariposa Peter con intensos colores pero que por su "pelaje" confunden siempre el foco de la imagen.
Me gusta el punto de vista y correcto OOF aunque la profundidad podría haber sido ligeramente mayor.
Correcta iluminación y elección del encuadre completan otra interesante entrega.
Cordiales saludos... Ricardo

Beautiful butterfly Peter with intense colors but that for their "coat" they always confuse the focus of the image.
I like the point of view and correct OOF although the depth could have been lightly bigger.
Suitable illumination and election of the framing complete another interesting post.
