Hello Peter,
Fine open wing capture of a butterfly familiar to me from the Swedish mountains, E. pandrose. Though the left wing is a little crippled, it is a good specimen that you show with fine sharpness and it shows well against the lichen-covered BG rock.
Thanks for posting this,
Best wishes,
Ivan

Hi Peter

Hi Peter,
Wonderful shot of this very beautiful Satyrinidae with such lovely colours and markings on its upper wings. The patterened BG makes the image stand out. Very impressive sharpness and the top POV works well here. Great composition.
