Hello on this saturday evening,
today we worked in the garden to make everything clear for the winter. I haven't seen much insects, so many have died now - we already had frost in the nights in the last days.

So I looked into my archive to find this beautiful Tailed Jay I pictured in the Butterfly-house in Hamm - it's the "home" of Heinz (wallhalla15) - and I also had to look inside his archive to search for the name of this beauty.
Danke Heinz, Deine Seite ist wie ein Schmetterlings-Lexikon.

The Tailed Jay (Graphium agamemnon) is a predominantly green and black tropical butterfly that belongs to the swallowtail family. The butterfly is also called Green Spotted Triangle, Tailed Green Jay or the Green Triangle. It is a common, non-threatened species native to India, Sri Lanka through Southeast Asia and into Australia.
Wingspan 10 cm.

Thanks for looking, I wish you a pretty weekend.

Hi Sabine!

Amazing butterfly. Perfect one. I love its green neon colours. Great composition, details, sharpness and DOF. Wide frame is also vey good idea. Hypnotic one :-)

A perfect image in every respect, Sabine.
There is no scope for pecking at it.
The open-wing stance of the butterfly shows its glorious beauty.
Thanks and bye.

Hola Wishnu.- Una foto muy hermosa, muy nitida y con exelente luz.

10 cm spannweite, nicht schlecht, dass du denn dann noch ganz
auf´s photo bekommen hast..*gg*
tolles macro, sabine, und das hast du uns jetzt über ein 1/2
jahr vorenthalten - gut, dass wir es doch noch zusehen
bekommen, denn die farben sind wirklich einmalig.
perfekt erwischt den großen flattermann.
terrific job & samstägliche grüße, thorsten.

Una preciosidad de Mariposa y perfectamente retratada. Enhorabuena y saludos,

Bonita macro Sabine con muy buen DOF y foco que a pesar del POV obtenido abarca la totalidad del insecto.
Buenos colores, aunque se percibe el uso del flash con adecuado fondo y encuadre.
Gracias y un excelente fin de semana.
Saludos... Ricardo

Beautiful macro Sabine with very good DOF and focus that in spite of POV obtained take in the entirety of the insect.
Good colors, although the use of the flash is perceived with appropriate bottom and framing.
Thank you and an excellent weekend.

Hallo Sabine,
diesen Falter habe ich gestern noch "life" gesehen. Dieser Bursche ist ein richtiger "Zappel-Phillip" - schwer zu fotografieren. Am 1.11. ist letzter Tag. Dann wird die Heizung heruntergefahren. - Schade.
Dein Foto super. Ein richtig schöns Portrait vom Graphium Agamemnon. Tadellose Schärfe, Tiefenschärfe, hervorragender Bildaufbau und natürliche Farben. Eine sehr gute Arbeit. Danke Dir. Ich wünsche Euch ein schönes Wochenende.
Gruß
Heinz

VERY nice SAbine! I like this one! He is a beauty!

Hallo Sabine,
I'm very glad to meet you Jay. :) You are really very handsome. But my dear friend Sabine has very nice captured you. If she has not done this work, we cannot meet and know you. Thanks to her. Because her POV is very well chosen to show your beauty as nice as possible. She has shown us your amazing colours very nice at the same time. It was very well focused on you by she. Do you know? She is a best photography artist, but you should not tell this her. I'll tell myself, in her own language.

Sabine, Du bist sehr erfolgreicher Fotographie Künstlerin. Vielen Danke und herzliche Grüsse.

Hi Sabine

What a splendid butterfly! Its colors and contrast is absolutely breathtaking!
Excellent POV and timing here - catching it with its wings wide opened, impecable lighting and DOF - with it is full focus.
I think i speak in the name of all us europeans when i say that it's a shame that we don't have such beauties in our lands :(

Anyway, superb post, very nicely framed and composed!

Bravo and TFS

Wow, Sabine... What a clear image!

Hi Sabine,
Nice compo.
Beautiful butterfly depicted.
I wonder if the shadow on the leaf is due to the sun or the flashlight?

Lovely contrasted colours, what a pretty butterfly,
great macro with lovely composition :)

You have no idea how happy I was to this butterfly today. :)

I took a photo of one in a butterfly house nearly a year ago. I had no idea what species it was. Now I know... :)

The exposure and details is very good. Somehow the fact that the insect is looking away from you lessens the impact. I believe a more top down or view from the front would have ammended that. It is still a very good photo. And the one that gave me the most joy for quite some time... :)

Thanks for sharing.

Hello Sabine,
Excellent macro work, telling a lot about the appearance of this insect!
Beautiful butterfly, good point of view and captured with the finest possible details...
Well framed, nicely presented!

Well focused, composed. Contrasts sharply balanced.
