Hello Krzysztof !
What a great picture, and such a lovely dedication to Ulla ! I like the soft natural colors very much, as well as the composition with lots of space at the right side of the picture. The sharpness and details on the butterfly are excellent, the blurred BG makes the insect stand out in the most beautiful way. Very well done !
Valérie.

PS : Sorry, I don't have any points left...

Ciao Krzysztof, elegant macro with lovely little butterfly on a splendid flowers, wonderful natural colors, perfect focus, good blurry BG, fine details and excellent sharpness, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hello Krzysztof,
A beautiful capture that would delight Ulla!
Polyommatus dorylas is very threatened in Sweden, especially in my area where I saw it last two years ago.
You make a perfect capture of this fresh specimen showing the closed wings with superb sharpness, lighting and colours against an ideal BG. I have no negative critique make on this.
The Przedborski Landscape Park seems a fantastic place for butterflies!
Thanks and all the best,
Ivan

Witaj,
Ladne warunki i sliczny okaz. Mysle tylko czemu takie ustawienie ekspozycji to daje zbyt plytki DOF no i rozmycie BG przy tak krotkiej ogniskowej. Udana kompozycja.
Pozdrawiam, Pawel

Hello Krzys,
Thank you so much for this kind dedication! I really appreciate this little beauty that I've only seen a glimpse of once. I love its pose here on Melampyrum arvense and the fine sharp details of the underwing showing the line of little hearts! Lovely colours too and a fine background. This Park sounds a really great place to visit!
Many thanks again and kind regards, Ulla
