[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This one is called in the Netherlands the orange sand eye [Pyronia titonus]. It's one general butterfly, if you has a good looking, you can seen it almost every where by us, but there are some parts of our country, he is lacking entirely. The upper parts of both, for and behind wings, are orange, with a broad, brown link orange. On the upper part, of the for wings, sits a black macula. The male has a fragrance line, on the upper part of his for wing. He flies for the first time at the end of June, so it's a summer butterfly, in one generation. The new generation is going, as a caterpillar through the winter. In June starts the whole cycles again.

wauw how is it possible, I took this one exact one year ago.
This one I took when I had a broken leg. I remember it very good. With my leg in the plaster, with my camera, I have to make some photos. I hope you like the result

Brown in colour yet still very nice. I like composition with yellow flower, good POV and sharpness, especialy on insect's wings.
I think it isn't very wise to go to take photos with broken leg, Jaap! But I also think I would do same thing ;-)

Nice shot wiyh a wonderful focus on the insect.
Nice POV, compo, BG adnd colours.
TFS.

Hi Jaap,
Excellent shot and well composed.
I would liked to have seen less behind and a little more in front of the subject. F9 or more may have had the wing tip more in focus.
All around nice approach to the shot. Excellent work.

Hi Jaap, good shot. The details around the head are spot on and the colours are good. I'm not sure about the composition. I can see why you chose this - to get the BG flower in the frame. I would have liked to have seen a little more room in front of the butterfly.

Nice work, well done.

Very good details Jaap. Nice POV.

Dag Jaap,
Men spreekt soms van een fluwelen vlinder, wel hier heeft u er een, ongelooflijk hoe u dit kon realiseren, u spreek vermoedelijk de taal van de vlinders!
Prachtig werk opnieuw Jaap!
Groeten uit Vlaanderen,
John.

Helo Jaap!
Great photo. Soft wings make me to touch it... cute and beautiful!!!!

Very good exposure and composition Jaap. I also remember you having your leg in plaster, as well as the visions of you hopping after some butterfly that just doesnt want to sit still :).

Very well done and thanks for posting
