Questa e' la farfalla piu' straordinaria che abbiamo,peccato che quest'anno io ho incontrato solo la cugina femmina pure vecchiotta...e sogno sempre un giorno di rifare..ma meglio...quel magnifico riflesso violaceo.La metto direttamente nelle preferite per farti capire come la penso...e mi chiedo come hai fatto a tenerla per 2 mesi nell'hard disk....forse non ha un significato cosi' particolare come per me..ehhe...buona settimana,LUCIANO

Ciao Maurizio. Davvero fantastici colori per una farfalle tra le più belle in circolazione. Perfetti i dettagli e ottima la luce. Fortunato davvero ad averla incontrata e così ben proposta.

This butterfly is a rarity, Maurizio, and Valerie is the right person to dedicate this picture to.
The changing colour patterns, especially of blue, are the hallmark of this species' unique beauty.
The picture leaves no loopholes to peck on and it is a superb image from all every point of view.
Thanks and regards.

Bonjour Maurizio,
Une très belle dédicace à Valérie (je suis presque jalouse :-)!
Apatura iris me semblait d'abord un peu sombre sur mon écran, mais en le bougeant un peu, j'ai vu toute la beauté de ce papillon. Extraordinaire! Tu as eu beaucoup de chance de pouvoir le photographier à plusieurs reprises! Il me semble que Peter Stoeckl a aussi présenté des images de ce papillon. Bravo!
Une belle semaine
Amitiés

Ciao Maurizio, eh che sono queste dediche melense'
Guarda che son geloso, ma mica di te o della brava Valerie, ma di questa maravigliosa Apatura iris dai fantastici colori e dai magnifici riflessi, poi oltre ad essere splendida è anche rara, e io dalle mie parti non la becco mica, magnifica cattura e ti è rimasta anche il tempo sufficiente per scegliere tutti i dasti di scatto giusti per una superba macro, bravissimo, ciao Silvio

Hi Maurizio,
This has to be one of the most beautiful butterflies ever posted on TN. Purple Emperor is the perfect name because it has the look of royalty. You captured the amazing colors perfectly - the blues and blacks look like velvet. Wonderful markings shown in fine detail. Excellent textures of the body. I love the diagonal composition.

ha ragione Luciano...questa meraviglia nel
hard disk per piu' di due mesi cosa ci faceva?...un esemplare(non certo in perfetto stato come il tuo) che ho visto una sola volta a circa 1400mt,e mi ha impressionato per il volo...ho cercato di fotografarla al meglio ma da lontano e senza teleobiettivo il risultato e' questo .....
ritornando alla tua macro e' davvero eccellente per definizione dettagli
colori e presentazione...
complimenti e grazie sERGIO

Hello Maurizio !
Thank you very very much for this gorgeous dedication ! I feel honored ! And yes, indeed it is a first-class butterfly, so beautiful, and you have captured it with great skill and talent. The details and textures are so well reproduced I have the impression I could almost touch it. I also like how he stands out on the white BG, the blue color looks absolutely splendid, and composition, POV and pose of the butterfly are so excellent. Thank you once more, my friend from Italy. yOu just made my day with this generous dedication.
Warm greetings from France,
Valérie.

Hi Maurizio,
spectacular capture of Iris which must be a very rare finding in Italy as it is a species from cooler regions. It is confined to just a few places in my country, too.
Perfectly approached by you to show the deep blue iridescence on both wings, also showing tack sharp details including finest hairs. An image with a powerful diagonal composition and overwelming contrast. Certainly one of the best ways to portrait Apatura iris.
Very kind of you to mention my series of Iris captures from a few years ago. Wings slightly torn in your specimen at the rear part near the eye spots might tell of a diverted bird's attack aimed at the false head. Very interesting to notice that. Thank you!
With best regards,
Peter

I like the nature and I like the photo.
Then by uniting both, sometimes, it is possible to realize a photo as this one.
