[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A real party starts on a bouquet of thistles between Satyridae, Melanargia galathea (Linnaeus, 1758) and Zygaena ephialtes, the Variable Burnet. It was late in the afternoon but they continue till night. Some minutes later a wild bee passes from this club but flew away soon because the party was private and nothing else could be there without an invitation.

Hi Thodoris,
Pleasant framing of this busy situation!

Well done on the macro work, good colours and pleasing details!

Hello Thodoris !
You have captured a very nice and interesting öoment, with these 2 very different species gathered on the same flower. Details, colors, composition, POV, everything is excellent. Very well done !

Hello Thodoris,
You have done your job as the party photographer very well. Sharp and well-composed. Another illustration of how useful thistles are as scources of nectar.

Bonita captura Thodoris, principalmente por su composición, su agudeza y el oportunismo del disparo.
Suaves y naturales tonos, con buen OOF del trasfondo.
Interesante entrega.
Saludos... Ricardo

Hi Thodoris

Great shot and well captured, its so hard to capture one and you managed four, nice sharp detail and great colours, these Thistles must certainly taste good.

TFS Hilary :o)

Hi Thodoris,
very charming peaceful congregation of burnets and satyrids. The image is clear, sharp, well composed, and unspectacularly matter-of-fact in a pleasant way. Both species have been shown in well recognizable typical poses. The story about a noisy bee turning away later on without an invitation to this private party is a good story. Thank you!
Best regards,
Peter
