Hello Horia,
I agree with Krzysztof that this is a close macro a M. galathea, the head and thorax being taken with excellent sharpness from a fine lateral POV.
Well done, you owe us a beer!
Cheers!

Din punct de vedere tehnic poza este aproape perfecta! ( Un blitz inelar pe obiectiv ar ajuta sa fie perfecta...)Compozitia este buna, detaliile si culorile la fel, felicitari pentru realéizare!

Hi Horia,
a wonderful head-on portrait. The buggers usually don't keep still, so I think it was an exercise of patience and fast reaction for you. Great! I know from personal experience that the beer is good in Maramures, I'm sorry I did'nt earn it.
Best regards

Hello Horia!
Too many beers before me, so I will not provide name of species (which was already provided :>) but I will write one thing - very good portrait!!! It is not easy to take such photo so here are my best congratulations!
By the way, you were talking about Ursus? Ciuc? Ciucac? or some other kind of beer? ;>
All the best from Poland,

Buna Horia

Am tot vrut sa te felicit pentru fotogafia asta din ziua in care ai postat-o...dar tot n-am ajuns :(
In fine, Bravo pentru asa un macro reusit!
In primul rand, stiu cat de greu e sa reusesti unul atat de clar si corect expus, la marimea asta, in conditii de lumina naturala. Cu toate astea, aici ai niste detalii si texturi exceptionale, marite corespunzator.
Apoi, n-ai neglijat si aspectul adancimii campului vizual, care permite ca intreg capul si corpul fluturelui sa fie perfect in focus.
In final, nu e de uitat nici compozitia care, in opinia mea, e foarte potrivita.

Asa ca, Bravo si merci de postare.
Un weekend frumos!
Horia

Hello Horia !
This has to be one of the most impressive macro shots I have ever seen ! Wow ! Amazing ! You managed to capture each and every tiny details, with such perfect sharpness and clarity. I could almost count the hairs ! :-) I also like the composition, so tight around the butterfly's face. It's really great work. Very well done !

Foarte foarte bun portret. Sincer, nu imi dau seama de specie, deci nu merit berea.
Detaliile sunt excelente.
Numai bine, Oana
