[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [Dutch]
At the end of my second holiday to the Veluwe I found an field so big as an footballfield with yellow flowers.
There were thousends of them but all between the flowers and grasses so difficult to photograph.
I take a few shots and one are with the wings open.
I hope you like it.
Photo taken with the tele, I can't no close enough to btought my macro.
Thanks for looking and the critique.

Latin name - Maniola jurtina

Description
The meadow brown is a common butterfly. It is dark brown in colour with an eye-spot on each forewing. Females can be distinguished from males by the presence of an orange colouration on the forewings. In both sexes, the underside of the wings are paler in colour. The caterpillar is yellowish-green with a dark green underside, and is covered in long white hairs. A yellowish-white line passes along each side and the tail tapers into two whitish projections.

Hello Gert,
Nice colours, good soft light also sharpness is exact on whole body and wings. On burred BG the butterfly is visible very well.
Regards, Pawel

Excellent shot with fine sharp details, perfect focus, nice natural colors and light, beautiful blured BG, i never succeed to shot one with open wings so this is very interesting for me,

Hello Gert,
nice shot of the Meadow brown with natural colours. It is probably not easy to capture this butterfly with open wings, but I like the way you have managed this difficult shot. Well done.
Best wishes,
Helmut

Hallo Gert,
Erg mooi vlindertje in natuurlijke kleuren en uitstekende scherpte. Mooi contrast tegen de achtergrond, al is deze achtergrond wel wat ruizig. Goede compositie.
Groet,
Peter

Hi Gert,

You captured this lovely Meadow Brown in a wonderful open winged position on the flower. Colors, textures and details are excellent. The setting and composition are very beautiful.
