One of the most beautiful European butterflies. I've seen it only 2-3 times but always I'm really happy to see it. It was only one moment when the butterfly was sitting on the flower - so this is the reason of quite strange POV but... I hope you'll like it.

If you would like to know more about this species - please take a look here.

Hallo Chris
Although one cannot see the facial area of either of these butterflies, this is a lovely image. The colours and details on the wings captured is super. The image as a whole is beautifully displayed and the clarity of the patterns is super. I like the almost see through tips on the wings. Thanks for sharing. Best regards. Anna

Hello Chris,

An excellent capture of these butterflies with brilliant colors, sharpness & details. TFS.

Regards

Umar

Witaj Chris!

Wspaniałe okazy! Nie znam się na motylach, ale ten gatunek chyba nieczęsto można dostrzec w naszym kraju. Przepiękna fotka.

Pozdrawiam
Jacek

Witaj Krzysiek,
Swietna kompozycja. Podziwiam kolory, ostrosc i mnogosc siedzacych motyli. Pisze "mnogosc" i "sidzacych", bo widzialam tylko jednego i latal bez konca.
Gratuluje i pozdrawiam serdecznie - Roma

Hello Chris,
I'm impressed both with your butterfly site and your pictures on TN. I chose this shot because it is one of my favourite species, now much rarer in my country.
An unusual POV taken from below while feeding to show the wings with excellent sharpness and lighting against a contrasting natural BG.
Thanks and best regards,
Ivan

Precioso e impactante conjunto Chris. La disposición de la mariposa sobre la planta y la forma creada es espectacular. Bellos colores.
En lo negativo, el ángulo creo que podría ser mayor, osea, sin recortar tanto la fotografía, aunque esto es solamente mi punto de vista.
Un abrazo: Josep Ignasi.
