Hello Wishnu, this a very sharp photo. I know that it is very difficult to make a sharp image of this very fast flying moth.
Very nice colors and good POV.
Very well done!

Guten Morgen Sabine,
eigentlich wollte ich heute morgen auch ins Freie. Es ist zu feucht von oben.
Du hast mit deinem Bild den richtigen Augenblick erwischt. Die Taubenschwänzchen tauchen ja bei uns im 'hohen Norden' in den letzten Jahren auch regelmäßig auf. So ein Schnappschuss ist mir bisher nicht gelungen. Volle, scharfe Breitseite.
Schöne Grüße, Peter

Hi Sabine,
this is a great catch, I saw one yesterday, they are not many up here, but i didn't get a decent shot ot this beauty.
You have manage to get an excellent inflight with good details and good POV. Lovely colours too.
Great work, my friend.

Engelsgleich, die Fuehler wie einen Heilgenschein geformt, nur braun ist er, nicht weiss...und doch schwebt er, wie gewichtslos neben den Blueten dieses Scmetterlingstrauches. Sehr schoenees Foto, farblich ausgeglichen, der Aufhellblitz extrem gut dosiert.

Nur nicht verzweiflen an diesem Regenwetter, man muss nur an den Schnecken und an den nun schnell spriessenden Pilzen seine Freude gewinnen.
Aufs baldige, Patrick

Hi Sabine,
I didn't know they were also in Germany. First time I saw one was in Turkey and it puzzels me for days, asking myself if it was a miniature bird or if I had hallucination!
I'm very happy to see one properly as they are so fast. That brings us to your fantastic shot. It is incredible how well you managed to photograph it. Details, exposure, composition and colours are perfect!
They realy do not have insect eyes!
Very well done and TFS

Hallo Sabine,
da hast du ja wieder eine Meisterhaften Fang gemacht. Ich habe im neulich auch versucht eine eizufangen aber er blieb leider nicht lange genug um ein brauchbares Bild zustande zu bekommen. Die kleine Kerle sitzen nicht mal ne Sekunde still. Um so mehr schaetze ich die tolle Ausführung deines Bildes.

Hi Sabine,
Glückwunsch zu diesem wunderbaren Foto. Ich hatte dieses Jahr erstmalig ein Taubenschwänzchen gesehen und versucht es abzulichten...Es blieb beim Versuch. Dieser Falter war zu schnell für meine Digi. - Umso besser gefällt mir aber Dein Foto. Hier stimmt wirklich alles, angefangen von der Bildgestaltung, Schärfe und den Farben. Licht und Hintergrund gefallen mir ebenfalls sehr gut. ... Einfach toll!

Hi.
How you managed to achieve that the moth during meal looked directly in an objective?
Wonderful shot with extremely perfect lighting, exposure and contrast. Outstanding DOF and beautiful BG. Amazing colours etc.

Great job. Bravo.

Hi Sabine
Very nice! Great capture of this Hummingbird Moth. Excellent detail, perfect timing and nicely framed. The only nit here for me is that the flash level I think is too high, I would have stepped the flash exposure bias down by maybe -2/3. Super shot!

Adrian

Hello Wishnu,
this is so good! I am pleased to have found it amongst your picture. For the first time I saw a hummingbird hawk moth this year. My husband spotted on last year and did not know what he had seen. I remember he was very excited describing it. This year one came to our garden and my husband cried out in excitement..loook, loolk that the insect i was telling you about! So I have just called him to see your wonderful picture.
thanks

Great capture. Your subject seems to be keeping an eye on you! I am amazed that you managed to freeze it at 1/200s. It must have been concentrating so much on your camera lens that it forgot to flap its wings for a second. Smile! TFS.

Hallo Sabine,
von hinten betrachtet wirkt Dein Engel ziemlich kokett - siehe Dein Posting von Oktober - aber von der Seite betrachtet zeigt er sich für mich von seiner frommen Seite, man betrachte die andächtig an den Leib gepressten Pfötchen, er sieht aus wie ein Ministrant im katholischen Österreich - oder Bayern, der am Messwein nippen darf.
Mit Dank und besten Grüßen,
Peter
