Hej Krzys,
Ja wiem, ze technicznie to zdjecie jest lepsze niz to w workshopie ale szczerze mowiac wlasnie tamto jest bardziej dynamiczne, ma wieksza sile wyrazu i zdecydowanie bardziej pasuje do tytulu ktory dales :-)
Buzka,
Michal

Perhaps the fly had been sipping someones rum and coke eh?:-) An interesting approach. I actually like the workshoped image but I see where you could not see the wings...The workshop worked for you too in this way. Good notion.. I ma giving you TWO POINTS!:-) I'm sorry...I just have to...you're to neat a guy:-)

Hello Krzys,
Beautiful view of the Copper butterfly that doesn't seem too bothered about the fly!! Great sharpness showing the fine orange marking on the underside of the wings. Fine natural colours too and I like the overall composition of both captures. Well timed and also funny!
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

Hi Krzysztof, fantastic action shoot, I like a lot WS too, great macro with wonderful light and splendid colors, fine details, excellent sharpness, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hi Chris,
A nice capture of this beautiful small copper. Very well composed with sharp details and a lovely composition with the fly in the back ground. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Cześć Krzysiu
Fajne zdjęcie, chociaż zgadzam się z Radkiem i Michałem, że w workshopie "atak" jest bardziej wyraźny.
Natomiast technicznie zdjęcie jest super, dobrze skomponowane i w ładnej kolorystyce.
Pozdrawiam
Ania

Hi Krzysztof!

I believe that any photographer sometimes needs luck. You have taken full advantage of this situation and present us a beautiful picture with a humerous title and text. But your text moreover is very instructive.

Kind regards

Markus

Witaj,
interesujące zdjęcie, szczególnie po obejrzeniu WS. Po musze bym tego nie podejrzewała, że jest tak wredna, szybciej posądziłabym o to pasikonika. Sama wielokrotnie widziałam jak atakowały motyle spokojnie siedzące na kwiatach. Czasem nie udało się zrobić jednej dobrej fotki bo zanim się ustawiłam to kolejny pasikonik strącał motyla. Jak zabawa w zbijanego.
Gratuluję refleksu
Pozdrowienia
Alina
