Hello again Peter,
WOW! You have caught one of my favourite butterflies in the best possible way. This fine shot shows the Adonis Blue from a fine POV to show both the wing surfaces with excellent sharpness in a fine composition against a pleasing neutral bokeh.
Great to see and thank you!
Best wishes, Ivan

Hallo Peter,
Dein Bläuling macht seinem Namen alle Ehre - dieses Blau ist so brilliant und wunderschön.
Und er hat sich sehr hübsch für Dich gesetzt, nichts lenkt uns von seiner Schönheit ab.
Wie auch bei Libellen finde ich es schwierig, die verschiedenen Bläulingsarten zu bestimmen, himmelblauer Bläuling, Heuhechel-Bläuling ... wer kann da die Unterschiede sehen?!?
Egal, er ist klasse, vielen Dank und Gruß
Sabine - wishnugaruda

Hallo Peter,
dieser Falter hat den passenden Namen. Die Bläulinge sind meine Lieblingsfalter. Leider habe ich hier dieses Jahr sehr wenig Bläulinge beobachten können. Die Reviere an denen sie anzutreffen waren sind als Holzlager der Kyrill-Baumstämme benutzt worden. - Ein sehr schönes Schmetterlingsfoto, herrliche Farben und eine excellente Schärfe. Ein tolles Sommerfoto.
Ich danke Dir und wünsche Dir ein schönes Wochenende.

Guten Abend Peter,
Ja, Polyommatus bellargus ist wirklich ein Adonis. Da kann man ja nur noch staunen, wenn ein solcher über die Wiesen schwebt. Und Du hast ihn so wunderschön eingefangen. Das Kreisen mit den Flügeln habe ich auch schon oft bei den Bläulingen beobachtet und fragte mich, was das eigentlich für einen Zweck habe.
Hab Dank für Bild und Text
Herzliche Grüsse
Anne

Hi Peter.
I don't know which shot is better. Each of them is worthy separate representation. Charming butterfly is reproduced at various surroundings and at different POV so perfectly and with great love to subject. Amazing blue colour is shown with help of excellent light. Details of the texture and coloration are fantastic (but usual for you). Smoothness and colourfulness of the original shot BG are sweet (so pleasant to look and harmonize with blue colour tones nicely). Vegetation and DOF of the WS are tremendous too. But the true pearl of he WS is butterfly tongue and its spiral form. Bravo for so esthetic pleasure which is brought by your both pictures.
Yours Alexei.

hello Peter
This really is exceptional for many reasons..your dof and focus here is absolutley spot on to capture true detail in the upper and lower wings..the pov you have achieved highlights this even more..then the colours and the lighting and so on and so on!!
Excellent work and Thank you very much for sharing this.

Hi Peter, wonderful capture of the Adonis Blue - I like these "Blue" butterflies and never realised there were so many similar but different ones. These wings are quite brilliant, darker than the more pale common one.
Well done

Hi Peter, no wonder they call that beautiful butterfly Adonis,captured beautifully by you. Sometimes the photo is just great and besides saying it has a great POV, etc, I just love looking at it as there is nothing to add or to retrieve because it is great as it is. Thank you,

Hi Peter

Another splendid butterfly shot from you my friend!
I don't know if i ever told you, but i really like the way you present these lovely creatures and how and where you found them. I find that very useful in a note so that nyone who might want to experience their beauty live, can go in those kinds of habitats and reach for them.
Now for the picture: it's really very well taken.
I must appreciate the very effective composition - with nothing else but the butterfly and the flower it is on in the frame. A superb uniform BG complements the vivid colors of the subject.
Spot-on exposureas well as sharpness - which is excellent in presenting the smallest details on his body, wings and head.
Great work, my friend!

Bravo and TFS

Hi Peter,
Excellent pose caught!
It's almost like if the butterfly were made acrobatic poses at the top of the dried flower.
The exposure and focus are the right ones to stand out the beauty of this specimen.
I like a lot the smooth gradations of green at the background.
My compliments and thanks for share it.
Best regards,
JM

Guten Abend Peter,
genau getroffen! ... das Blau dieses 'ausnahmsweise'* blauen Bläulings und dann noch von bäuchlings, so dass auch noch die wunderschöne Unterseitenfärbung zur Geltung kommt. Vorzüglicher Kontrast gegenüber dem Hintergrund und gut fokussiert.
Schöne Grüße, Peter

* In letzter Zeit sind besonders viele 'Rote' gezeigt worden!

Hello Peter,
This is real candy for the eyes as well!! The Adonis Blue is just fabulous, no other blue butterfly can compete with this colour! I hope I'll see it in real life again one day! Excellent capture, very sharp and the colours are beautiful and it stands out so well against the smooth background.
We shouldn't really complain about the weather here in the very south of Sweden as it seems to be much worse both up north and down south! No doubt it'll hit us soon too though.
Many thanks and best wishes, Ulla

Hi Peter, what a beautiful and elegant shot of this Adonis. Perfect pov showing both the underside and top of the wings and its markings. Very well composed with great light, details and sharpness. So clean and sharp I can see every detail in the head and antenni. Very nice soft background. Excellent composition all round.

Hi Peter!
First of all I would like to wish you all the best in new year! Only happy and nice moments! :>

According to this picture I have to say one thing: this is really Adonis among lycaenid butterflies! Fantastic, vivid colours, amazing sharpness and beautiful contrast between insect and BG make this photo one of the best picture of Lycaenidae in your collection and on TN. It is a great pleasure to watch it.

Best greetings from Lodz,
Radomir
