This is a majestic insect, the true aristocrat among the fritillaries. Although reasonably common in woodland throughout Europe, it is always arresting, commanding attention as it swoops and soars along rides or feeds on nectar sources.

Hallo Marx,
Wspaniale ujecie tego Argynnis paphia w naturalnych nasyconych kolorach i bardzo dobrym tlem w naturalnie rozmytych zielonych kolorach.
Pozdrawiam

Hello Marx,
Very fine protrait of this Fritillary, with excellent colours and details. My personal preference would be for a slightly wider crop, with a little more BG, but thanks for posting.
