Hllo Sabine!
Thank you very much for comment to my Swedish photo :>

According to you picture Sabine, my today neighbour, I must say that I like a lot colouration of this image. The weather is rather cloudy and today is rathr "grey day" in Lodz so this presentation reminds me sunny summer days (even if it is impossible to meet this species in the wild in my region :>).
Very nice sharpness too. Maybe only flash reflections are a little to strong (white areas on butterfly's wings).
All the best from Lodz!

Hi Sabine

Ouch, I almost got arc eyes from that brilliantly luminous reflections on the
see-through wings. What a pretty picture to behold!

This wonderful composition does a magnificent job to present the beautiful
clearwing in all its gorgeous splendour. The bumped up saturation and the
well captured details all adds to the outstanding visual impact.

Great work and TFS.

Your "Clearwing" is a charmer indeed Sabine, with those lovely, transparent wings, but what I like in this photo is that huge compound eye with near-vertical striations. TFS this wonderful image from your archive MF.

Hello Sabine,
greta oto is a beautiful butterfly.
You have captured it a nice way, the colours are fine and natural. About the flash ;-))), It's nice to see you avoid to get to much reflection in the wings.
If I shall nit picking you picture, it's a bit tight in front, a piece of the antenna is missing.
Otherwise it's a very fine picture.
Well done, mf.

Gert

klasse macro von dem hübschen schmetterling! :-) die durchsichtigen flügel sind wirklich faszinierend; schärfe und
farben sind perfekt, schade nur, dass einer der fühler ein wenig abgeschnitten ist.
good job & viele grüße, thor.

Hello Sabine,
A fine capture of this striking and interesting Ithomid butterfly taken from your archives.
The use of slash is just right to show its features with fine sharpness, colours against a natural looking Bg.
This is one of the few species that looks the same with the wings open or closed!
Thanks and all the best,
Ivan

Hi Wishnu friend!

Here in Venezuela I have seen this butterfly (or similar) and I must congratulate you because this is a beautiful insect but very nervous, always difficult to photograph for their movement and their tendency to remain in areas of low luminosity. The work we've done is perfect, the use of flash is masterful.

TFS!

Very colorful details. The textures of the wings are wonderfully shown. I like the sharpness and POV here with great natural colors. A great composition!

Hallo Sabine
A wonderful display of purity and innocence I see when I look at this lovely image. The details captured is an absolute feast to look at, especially the shiny wings, with its variation of colour and splendour. The green leaves emphasise the details of this beauty to its best. I was indeed a pleasure to look at this great image. Stunning photography. Best regards and thanks for sharing.

Hallo Sabine!

Dieser Schmetterling ist wirklich überraschend in seiner Art. Du hast seine Eigenschaften gut hervorgehoben und es ist wirklich erstaunlich zu sehen, was unsere Natur hervorbringt. Ich finde es auch super, dass du angibst, wo du das Bild gemacht hast.

sie haben ihn mit so scharfen details und so wudervollen Farben abgenommen
das ist ein kleines Meisterstück

Liebe Sabine,
Schön ist sie, die Greta mit ihren gläsernen Flügel! Ich erinnere mich, dass Peter Roos einmal in Zentralamerika einen ähnlichen Schmetterling fotografiert hat. Gut gemacht, da es gar nicht einfach ist, Kreaturen mit durchsichtigen Flügeln zu fokussieren. Spezielles gestreiftes Auge auch.
Herzlichen Dank auch für deine phantasiereichen Kritiken :-)
Herzlich grüsst

Hello Sabine,

Yeah, that is an interesting design!
In fact it reminds me of the sails of modern windsurfers, maybe this is where they got the idea hehehe...
A fine piece of macro work - fine light and lovely details, and the subject is nicely isolated from the back!

Hi Wishnu,

The leaves are framing well the butterfly. The macro point view is showing the details and colors of the Greta oto butterfly. It is sharp and clear. the surrounding light is enhancing the colors. Have a nice day.

Hi Sabine

Yes I saw this species, or one like it in Costa Rica. In the rainforest they literally dissapear when the take off, the clear wings are very effectively in making them invisible.
Excellent composition, sharpness, details, POV, DOF and OOF background.

Dear Sabine,

This is a very CLEVER shot - showing the insect - in front of a coloured background, thus demonstrating the transparency of the wings.

We also have window-winged moths in South Africa i.e. they have no scales on those areas opposed to window winged moths/butterflies, which have white splotches on black wings...


I like the way you controlled the depth of field - leaving the body blurred, thus emphasising the transparency of the wings.

Did you use the flash or were there spot lamps on the wall/ceiling?

Very well presented,
Have a nice week-end
Warm Regards
Ingrid
