Hi Jan,
this is a beautiful butterfly you have captured.
You did a good job, this is a very shy b-fly, I havn't get a decent shot of it yet,
Nice colours and good details.
Very well done.

Hi Jan

I know what you mean by shy. I also tried to take pictures of this little beauty but with much worse results that yours.
Superb capture, from an excellent POV, with nice sharp details, colors and framing.

Bravo and TFS

Well done.

Hi Jan
Very nice shot of Nymphais antiopa. It's rather shy species so it's not easy to make a good picture ;-D
Anyway: thanks for upload on my website.

Hi Jan

Well captured, nice detail and great colours of a lovely Butterfly that I have not seen before and I think I know why, as everyone is saying that it is so hard to catch.

Well Done

Regards Hilary
