Hello Peter,
this is a very detailed shot of this butterfly. This Alpine Heath is a perfect specimin.
+++ Excellent details and sharpness that show every scale on its wing. Great composition and POV. Good pose showing this butterfly digging into its meal of nectar. Great DOF keeping the whole butterfly in focus even though it was taken from very close range.
--- Nothing :)
Well done,
Joe

Hi Peter

Another wonderful macro shot from you and yet another terrific butterfly presentation!
The amount of details contained in this photo is simply incredible and i love all that hairy textures on the head, body and wings of this Alpine Heath.
The DOF that you used here did great to keep the entire subject in focus; the sode POV is always a splendid angle for presenting such a subject while the exposure here is great and gave your photo all these wonderful colors and tones.
The composition is probably the only part of the picture that is not that great, mostly due o the flower from teh upper-left corner, which is rather distracting...but i guess we can't choose where we find our subject, right?:)
Anyway, wonderful work overall.

Bravo and TFS

Hola Peter, yo diría que al enfoque ya no se le puede pedir más ya que es perfecto. Excelente luz y detalles en las alas impresionantes. Las flores superior e inferior dan vida a la toma y la hacen diferente. Buen trabajo !

hallo Peter,
Perfektes Bild des Alpen-Heufalters. Jedes Detail ist ersichtlich, super Macro-Werk. In Italien bist Du einer Vielfalt von Schmetterlingen begegnet. Ich vermisse eigentlich noch die Erebias.
Liebe Grüsse

Hi Peter.
I have never seen the better quality picture of the butterfly/ Its terrific and outstanding. Reproduction of all features of the butterfly is fantastic and the best. I mean texture, sharpness, colours, etc. POV and shooting distance are amazing. Framing of the image, a rather small parts of fire flowers and pleasant green BG are superb too. True masterpiece. My congratulations and pt.
Alexei.

Superb shot!!
A beautiful marvellous species which I had never seen, and I love it!
I wonder if these species are in some way relatives to the metalmarks, but they are clearly of Nymphalidae family.
Magnificent job.
Greetings
Maite
