Hello Krzysztof,
A very nice macro of T. sylvestris showing the closed wings from a great POV with fine sharpness against an ideal Bg. Excellent details of the head and the swept-round proboscis! :))
Thanks and have a good week,
Ivan

Hi Chris,a very magic point of view for the best result as possible.Excellent colors...but is the sharpness to be incredible,look the eye!! Fantastic!! My best compliments,have a nice day,LUCIANO

Love this picture with tons of details :-) The leaves in the FG is actually a distraction but i don't this you can avoid such things in nature.What surprises me though the way its proboscis
is placed around its eyes.

Hi Krzysztof.
I am amazed with superb reproduction of the wing's texture and all other parts and features of the skipper. Refined work. Composition of the shot is exceptional and POV is the most impressive. Smooth BG is great and nice addition for razor sharp main subject. Bravo. Perfect job.
Alexei.
