Beautiful image, Marcello.
I wonder if flash has been used here? I guess it must be natural light. I'm not sure though.
Well done

Hello Marcello,
Superb capture of a Burnet Moth, Z. oxytropis with fine sharpness and set in an excellent diagonal composition on the flowers of Red Valerian. Great POV and lighting too!
Nice to see this endemic species.
Thanks,

Hi Marcello.
Simply brilliant close-up with tremendous details and sharpness. I like wonderful light and blurred a bit BG, great rich and pleasant colours, precise DOF and outstanding framing and composition of the shot. Bravo. Perfect job.

Ciao Marcello,
oxytropis belongs to my favourite Zygaena-species. It is nicely shown on your picture.
Light and colour composition are great. Sharpness is perfect.
Best wishes, Peter

Una delle falene più complicate del mondo, avrò almeno 50 foto nel cestino di questa maledetta Zigaena, anche se di altra specie e non ce n'è una che si salva e tu me la fai vedere così bella!
Un po' di rispetto per i somari come me, ogni tanto mettine qualcheduna fuori fuoco o con i colori bruciati, se no che ti critico io?
Splendidi i colori della falena e molto ben reso il dannato metallizzato, meraviglioso il fiore, anche la tua foto fa venir tanta voglia di Primavera, e mancano 66 giorni che febbraio è bisestile, ciao Silvio

Otra toma tuya para observar y comentar tranquilamente. Destaca la combinación de colores y la belleza del conjunto. El insecto bien captado en general, pero como siempre, en Zygaena siempre hay algún punto que se escapa por la dificultad en captarla bien por su color, formas y textura. Buena luz.
Si no hay novedades en Marzo iré a Torino a visitar a mi hijo jeje.

Hello Maarcello,
This capture of this Zygaena sp.is quite outstanding! I love the metallic colour together with the bright red markings and details are very sharp. A beautiful composition too, but the flower is not C. ruber!
TFS and best wishes, Ulla
