The yellow one seems to have made the last moment entry, Peter; its tailend has gone slightly out of focus.
A great image of two different butterflies together. Both have fantastic colours and designs on their wings.
Great composition.

Hi Peter,
Good capture of the two. Lucky! nice colors also.

Hallo Peter, den linken Burschen kenne ich leider nicht. (ist auch nicht im Kosmos-Führer vertreten - oder ich bin blind ;-))
Hast die beiden hübschen Falter wunderbar ins Bild gesetzt. Gratulation - wie ich annehme (und erst jetzt bemerke) hast Du Deine 350D als Waffe benutzt. Super Arbeit! Ich wollte es wäre von mir.
Gruß
Heinz

Hi Peter.
I found you very different,with so many new posts and a new photo in the intro.
I need time to add my critiques to all your new shots.
The Pseudopanthera macularia is common to my places and its in my archive.The other one is unknown to me but so beautiful.Lucky you shot two different species in the same time.
See you.
