No wonder I saw a visit from you!!!! you wanted to show off this wonderful image. wow! What a nice capture Peter. The lighter coloured ones are so terribly hard to get in such a nice way as this...I am impressed much. And such a nice natural perch!

Hello Peter,
You came closer to this Clouded Apollo than I did to mine to show fine details with superb sharpness and a fine DOF, considering the low aperture. Apollos have the habit of burying themselves in a flower as their proboscis is relatively short, which explains the pollen decoration!
Nice composition too.
Thanks for sharing this beauty,
Best regards,
Ivan

The details of this photo are nice, clear, sunny and sharp. The colours are lovely and pleasant. Great capture and the wings look like stained glass. Very well presented and really eye-catching details. The details are stunning. It was a pleasure to look at. Thanks for sharing.

Lieber Peter,
Das ist, was man ein Close-up nennt. Du musst ja gar sachte an dieses Exemplar angeschlichen sein, um es aus engster Nähe zu fotografieren. Somit können auch wir den schönen Schwarzen Apoll bestens betrachten. Hübsch die feine rosarote Dekoration auf seinem Abdomen.
Herzlichen Dank auch für Deine netten Zeilen zu meinen Bildern.
Wünsche ein schönes Wochenende oder mindestens ein halb-schönes!

Lieber Peter,
ich kann mich an dem Bild nicht sattsehen. Jedes einelne Schüppchen, die vornehme Zurückhaltung bei den Farben, den beklecksten Latz, die transparenten Flügelspitzen, toll. Ich habe den Eindruck, Du warst von Deinem Fund auch begeistert. Gratuliere!
Beste Grüsse

Hi Peter,
When nature and its elements aid you to capture one of its rare creations you do it with great elan and style.What a beautiful presentation of this clouded apollo....it is as if its wings are creamy soft a colour yet crisp like a materila of nice raw silk.I see some evidence of its recent hunts on a pink flower.The details in this composition are simply marvellous. And i have never come across a butterfly having such a "furry body"...very well done, Peter..into my favourites...

TFS & Cheers

Hi, dear Peter.
I am amazed with this masterpiece at highest range. POV and framing, sharpness and details of the butterfly are outstanding. BG cannot be better. Level of details and blurriness is optimal. Soft light is so impressive. My congratulations. Well done.
