[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Today I will show you again a shot from the sunny days in Italy.

I saw this lovely "Small Skipper".

They are insects of high summer. Although they spend much of their time basking or resting among vegetation, they are marvellous flyers, manoeuvring expertly through tall grass stems. It is these darting flights, wings glinting golden-brown in the sunlight, that normally alert an observer to their presence. Closer examination will reveal many more individuals nectaring or basking with their wings held in the half-open posture distinctive of skipper butterflies.

Hope you like it.

Hi Sabine!
Skippers seem to be having a field day these days!
I have already posted one and itching to go with another :).
Fantastic POV, DOF, colours and sharpness.
The composition with the lovely flower carries your special stamp as an artistic photographer.
TFS and take care.

Hi.
Captured by you insect is very pretty. I like its details and colours. Sharpness of the insect and the flower is great. I like the blurred flower on the BG very much too. You have selected DOF perfectly. Your picture is full of light and life. My compliments.

Hallo Sabine,
tolles Makro - habe heute leider kaum Zeit. Meine Mutter ist ins KH gekommen. Kritik später.

The skippers seem to be really popular subjects and they are indeed cute little things, chasing around like jet planes and then settling down nicely on a flower to be photographed! Great fun for us all and you've captured this Large Skipper very nicely. Good focus and beautiful colours.
Thanks, Ulla

Hallo Sabine,
ich muss mich auch noch melden (verschicke aber heute nichts mehr). Diesen Dickkopf (Ochlodes venatus) mit seinem weit ausladenden 'Strohhalm' hast du gut getroffen, ebenso wie die farbenfrohe Blüte. In die Gesamtkomposition passt auch die verschwommene Blüte im Hintergrund gut hinein.
Schöne Grüße, Peter

Hola Wishnu.- Una bella foto de esta Palomilla. Exelente macro, luz, contraste y nitidez.
Saludos Luis52.

Good morning Sabine,
The details are nice, clear and sharp.
superb colours, lighting and exposure. The POV is good.
Well composed and great framing.
Thanks for posting, have a great end to the week my friend.

Hi Sabine,
Then depth in this photo is just amazing. The aperture choosen gave just the right BG showing the bext landing spot for this lovely b'fly. The details are superb, and I love the bright colors of both flower and b'fly.
TFS,
Niek

Wonderful, Sabine. The colors are really great -- vibrant orange and purple repeated in the fg against a subtle bg of green. Nicely seen. Perfect DoF to show that off, too.
Mike

Hi Sabine,

Once again you've captured a beautiful photo with brilliant, saturated colors. The blurred flower in the BG adds a lot of perspective to the picture. I love the way you've overlapped the flowers to add depth. It really has a 3D look! Congratulations!

Regards,
Eddie

Hello sabine,
That furry little chap is so well captured in his doings!
Again an image with superb details and colours, both main subject and the flower...
Lovely composition, an alternatuive could be to crop an inch or so in the top to get rid of that blurry flower...
Greetings,
Pablo -

Excellent shot, good colors, detail, composition, all the technical basics covered nicely. You have some very nice images in your folders.
