BUTTERFLY

I don't know the ID of this specie, so please help me if you can...
I find it in the 'MAGREDI' of Cellina River (PN, Italy),
a semi-desertic area with low vegetation and unusual micro-climate.

This pic was taken hand-held a Nikon D200 + 105mm macro lense VR (vibration reducer).
In post-production I only crop and added a little sharpness.
Thanks for your comments and eventually ID this insect.

Andrea

I think it i s a Melitaea Deione. Technically it is an excellent shot with good POV and vivid colours

Andrea,

Another of your well Composed, sharp and detailed pics. The BG makes the detail even more pronounced. TFS,

Hi Andrea,
Beautiful macro! Perfectly composed and framed. You did well isolating and seperating it from the backround. Colors and detail look great!
Scott

It's not easy to identify this species without back side of the wings but try to make own identification using my website. Please go here or here.
I hope it could help you but you can't be sure in 100% ;-D

Andrea bonjour, great capture with an excellent composition and beautiful colors too, Didier.

Nice capture, Andrea.
I like your POV; the colour of the flower matches very well with the patterns on the butterfly's wings.
TFS.

sottoesponi quando scatti? e se lo fai, di quanto?
so che per scatti come questo problemi di esposizione non ve ne sono, anche se il colore è strano. ad onor del vero mi darebbero da pensare anche i due puntini sono la farfalla. cosa debbo pensare però non so. sono solo indice di un qualcosa!

seghe mentali a parte, ti saluto.

A great composition and excellent open winged POV of the insect. Stunning colours, amazing details, superb BG enhancing the butterfly very well, and great exposure control.
Very good work and TFS.

Hello Andrea,
Nice capture! This is Melitaea athalia celadussa, this is a form of M. athalia that we see in southern parts of Europe like in the area where you took this picture!
Sharpness could be improved, lighting also. Nice colours and DOF. Did you use a monopod or tripod? I think not and maybe by using this you could improve the sharpness.

Hej Andrea!
Piekne ujecie motyla. Dobre kolory i glebia ostrosci.
Po polsku nazywa brzmi "przeplatka atalia" (rusalka).
Gratuluje i pozdrawiam - Roma

This is a really splendid shot of a beautiful butterfly! The composition is great, colors are brilliant and warm and the details are sharp! The BG is very nicely defocused which makes the subject stand out perfectly! Congratulations and TFS!

Greetings,
