Hello Peter,
Great to have such sharp and comprehensive views of the Knapweed Fritillary: it is the next best thing to seeing the butterfly out in the wild and for one like me that has never seen it in the wild your posts featuring this species are much appreciated.
Once again a fine sharp capture showing the upperside of the wings in excellent detail from a fine POV.
Thanks again!
Best wishes, Ivan

Wonderful crisp details on the beautiful pattern of the Phoebe. And thanks for mentioning the presence of the aphids, I wouldn't have notice them! ;)
Congratulations and TFS

A truly beautiful capture of this extremely attractive butterfly, Peter.
The aphids sticking to the stem of the plant are also clearly visible despite their small size.
A great image and I thank you for sharing it.
Best regards.

Guten Abend Peter,
du findest immer wieder bestechende Blickwinkel und dazu die passende Tiefenschärfe. Phoebe brilliert hier vor dem Hintergrund. Mir gefällt zudem die scharf abgebildete Grasblüte, die vor dem Hintergrund kaum auffällt, vom Falter nicht ablenkt und trotzdem einen ästhetischen 'Tupfer setzt'.
Schöne Grüße, Peter

Hallo Peter,
Der ist Dir aber ganz toll vor die Linse geflattert. Die Schaerfe ist prima und die Farben leuchten kraeftig.
Hervorragend hast du ihn in Szene gesetzt, die Perspektive ist einfach klasse.
Gruss..Sky

Hi Peter,
A great picture!
I like so much your POV and the pose of the butterfly catched.
The sharpness of the image is quite impressive, as usual!
It's so enjoyable the colours and patterns seen on their wings, they're so beautiful.
I like very much the composition made and the nicely blurred background that really stands up the subject.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

Hello Peter,
This is a lovely "Mélitée des centaurées" and you caught it nicely. He stands out of the smooth background.
The "+++" : composition, nice subject, pose with wings well open, rear POV, colors, sharpness, DOF, blurred BG, light & exposure, instructive complementary note with the french name ;-)
The "-" : nothing...
Congratulations my friend and thanks for sharing this beauty.

Hi Peter

Such a splendid butterfly shot and really symbolizes the full power and joy of spring.
I really love all the amazing details that you present this lovely species with - all those sharp textures and great patterns look terrific!
The DOF here is simply impeccable - keeping the butterfly in full-focus and everything else in the BG completely blurred.
The exposure is spot-on and that gave the photo all the correct and well saturated colors, too.
All-in-all: a splendor!

Hallo Peter,
Die uns schon bekannte Melitaea Phoebe ist auch von oben gesehen eine Schönheit. Der fein grüne Hintergrund wertet diesen Schmetterling noch auf. Und wenn man Pflanzen näher betrachtet, entdeckt man oft noch andere kleinere Einwohner. Und dann wird alles noch viel interessanter. Herzlichen Dank für das schöne Bild.
Ein schönes Wochenende wünscht Dir
Anne

Hi, dear Peter.
I am impressed with your mutual understanding with butterflies. They do what you want and do it (posing for you) excellently. Your butterfly on the ear looks simply greatly. Amazing impressive scene. Quality of the image is superb as always. Terrific skillfulness and taste. Bravo. I continue to study your photo art. Thank you and best wishes.
Yours Alexei.

Hi Peter,
a very fine shot from your hands.
The POV and compositions are really nice.
Good details and i like the DOF too, the butterfly is well separated from the BG.
Well done, my friend.
