Hi Peter,
This is an unsual specie to me! I love its French name! Colors and exposure are natural with superb details and composition. Plain green background makes your lovely model stand out well. Thanks,
Claudine

A wonderful display of the upper wings of this exotic butterfly, Peter. Superb details and colours. The subject sits pretty on those lovely yellow flowers.
I saw the other version with its wings closed and that one is equally fabulous.
Thanks and best regards.

Your good use of depth of field is what makes this one stick out...that and the wonderful colours..Very good then...but I still REALLY love the one just prior to this..You do so good at landscape..maybe the combination is important! I shall have to make a mental note

Hi Peter,
You always compose your frame in a pleasing, artistic manner..
Beautiful specimen, excellent POV here.
Very good colors, details, exposure, and complimentary BG.
(Good job on the clean-up) :)
Well done!

Dear Peter,
Yes I'm glad you posted this open wing macro of B. napaea as well. You made good use of the limited DOF by focusing on the body and showing the dense hair scales of this Alpine and high Nordic species and the composition on the yellow flower against a neutral natural BG is excellent. The POV is perfect.
Thanks for sharing this fine image and for your kind critique on my 500th posting!
With best wishes,
Ivan

Hallo Peter
This butterfly is richly blessed with lots of beautiful fluffy hair, lovely stripes and markings. You have captured it with great detail and care. It is a very pleasing image with lots of detail to appreciate. The detail of the furry body is well seen and displays well against the neutral green background. To me the flower it is resting on is also eye-catching and pleasing to look at. The total image is presented in the well known "Peter Stoeckl" style and manner and cannot be missed. It has a friendly and warm feel to it. Focus, composition and use of light is very pleasing, and it was once again a pleasure to look at it. Thanks for sharing.
Friendly regards
Anna

Hallo Peter!

Auch wenn ich mich zur Zeit lieber "eisigeren" Dingen als Schmetterlingen zuwende, konnte ich nicht an der Farbenpracht Deines Bildes vorbeikommen. Bereits der Thumbnail hat meine Aufmerksamkeit geweckt. Dein Bild bringt angenehme Wärme in die Stube und Dein interessanter Begleittext ist angenehm zu lesen.

Liebe Grüsse

Hi Peter,
what a wonderful capture of Boloria napaea; POV and DOF are perfect in a fantastic composition; superb sharpness, marvellous colours and a beautiful pose of the butterfly on the flowers against a very good OOF BG.

Lieber Peter,
Alexei hatte Recht. Dies ist wirklich ein schönes und interessantes Bild. Das Weibchen des Aehnlichen Perlmutterfalters ist etwas Spezielles. Ganz dunkel in der Mitte und mit einer fast weissen Bordure. Ich habe in meinem Referenzbuch gesehen, dass das Männchen schwieriger zu bestimmen wäre.
Für das nächste TN-Bild, da Du noch so viel Reserven hast, könnte das Zufallsprinzip weiterhelfen! :-)
Danke auch für Deine Kommentare zu meinen Bildern und auch für die positive Reaktion zu meiner Frage.
Wünsche eine schöne und nicht zu anstrengende Woche
Herzliche Grüsse
Anne

Hello Peter,
Wonderful and sunny capture!
I like a lot the colour palette displayed here, the intensity of the yellow and its contrast with the subtle green tones of the blurred background.
On the subject, great sharpness and fine details.
My compliments and thanks for share.

Hi, dear Peter.
Now I have a bit more free time and can to get pleasure from your tremendous picture. It is simply fantastic. Colouration of the butterfly, reproduction of all charming features of this splendid specimen unbelievable. Flowers are represented by the best way too. Great rich orange colours and excellent details. DOF is really precise. Light green canvas of BG is very nice and suitable for sharp, pictorial scene.
Bravo. Superb work. My heartfelt greetings and all the best.
Alexei.

Hello Peter,
Thank you for sharing this gorgeous butterfly from your neck of the woods (or I should say, your neck of the mountains).
It must be such a blessing for you to live in a place of such beauty.
The intricate patterns of the wings are rendered perfectly with sharpness.
The yellow of the flowers is so vibrant and deep. Lovely BG.
TFS. : )
