Hello Peter,
It's nice to see one of your butterflies again, so well captured in your characteristic way!
The underside view of the open wings against a fine hazy sky while this B. selene rests on some bramble flowers makes this a very attractive image. The sharpness and natural colours, sharpness, excellent composition and POV contribute to a superb portrait of this Fritillary.
Thanks and kind regards,
Ivan

Lieber Peter,
Eine grosse Ueberraschung heute morgen! Freut mich sehr wieder mal ein unverkennbares Stoeckl-Bild zu sehen. Die blauäugige Selene ist bei uns nicht sehr häufig anzutreffen und bin froh sie hier mit zwei hervorragenden Bildern dokumentiert zu sehen. Sehr schön das Bild mit dem "himmlischen" Take-off, die Unterflügel fein mit dem Blitz beleuchtet. Habe soeben festgestellt, dass Du einen gar langen Besuch in meiner "Fotogalerie" gemacht hast. Hab herzlichen Dank, dies freut mich natürlich besonders:-)
Ich hatte Dir vor längerer Zeit mal ein Mail geschrieben, betreffend oesterreichisches Künstlerpaar Mediz-Pelikan, ein Schreiben, das Du wahrscheinlich nicht gesehen hast. In der Zwischenzeit bin ich beim Kunshandel Widder in Wien fündig geworden. Der Artikel ist auch geschrieben.
Ich wünsche Dir eine angenehme Woche und freue mich natürlich schon auf die angekündeten Bilder.
Herzlich grüsst aus Bern
Anne

An amazing capture Peter, from a unique viewpoint which shows the underwing details to a perfection against that cloudy sky backdrop. The pattern and colouration are also reproduced quite finely in your pleasant composition.
TFS and cheers,

Hi, Peter, again.
As always I love such POV. It is really amazing and givers unusual and very attractive look. Both butterfly and plants are reproduced precisely. I also like wonderful a bit cloudy sky as a BG. Fill flash is great for such scenes. My compliments and kind wishes.
Alexei.

Hallo Peter
schön mal wieder ein Bild von ihnen zusehen, aber es war Wert zu warten, dieser Sumpfwiesen-Perlmutterfalter ist eine Pracht, es ist selten und sehr interressant das man ein Schmetterling von der Unterseite sieht, die details, die Farben und auch der Himmel im hintergrund sind ertst Klasse

Hallo Peter,

Although we previously didn't know each other, I'm glad you're back to TN, because I see you as a great contributor of the site. This photo's quite good, unfortunately sun didn't shine, but in the note you explained why. :) Nice details, well chosen POV, an interesting underside portrait. Well done, tfs.

Best regards from the "neighbourhood" (Ungarn), László

Hallo Peter,
also wie schon gesagt, es ist eine sehr gute Nachricht, dass Du wieder Bilder auf TN bringst. Peter Stoeckl Bilder eben, mit allen den gewohnten Finessen. Hier besticht die Körperhaltung des Schmetterlings und der himmlische Hintergrund mit dem speziellen Licht besonders. B. selene habe ich noch nie bewusst gesehen.

herzliche Grüsse
Dieter

Hello Peter,
such an amazing shot. I looks as if it not real. Very crisp image and very well detailed shot. The pattern and markings are excellently defined. Again you use the sky as the background, it gives a dramatic and magnificent effect.
