[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The assemblage for nectar,
Large Skipper/Ochlodes veneta, on Centaurea jacea or Centaurea maculosa???I am not sure for the identification and as always afterwards the identification of friend Ivan Kruys(Argus) it is Cirsium arvense.
Τhe subject it was photographed in the mountain Hymettos,
that is encompassed by the city Athens, but it entertains still a lot of types of wild life.

The particular hour did not help for photographing,
the light of helium was extreme, believes that it is the most decent pose that i take.

thank you for your visit in my collection

have a nice day

Yasou Nasos,
In a flower, how the very "Large Skipper" there ...?
I am a die-hard pictures of them, I can take.
Strong sun light, color and detail are very successful.
Best wishes,

Fantastic capture.
Beautiful colours with great details.
Light,focus and sharpness are splendid.
Good notes.

Hello Nasos,

Congratulations on this excellent photography, it is very united four butterflies, featureless selfish, almost an ode to friendship! ... excellent management approach in deciding the weight of this butterfly in the top center. The colors are very good, the luminosity has been nicely handled. Cheers and happy weekend!
