Hi Krzysztof and many congratulations on this happy event!
I wish you many more posts on TN and, in return, i thank you for all your contribution here!
These are two very beautiful collages that contain some lovely photos of all these different species. The variety of colors and sizes presented is terrific and if i were to pick my favorite shot, i think it would be the last one (right corner down) from the collage from the Workshop.
Anyway, congrats again and have a superb weekend!
Horia

Hi Krzysztof,

Many Many congratulations on your 200th post! I must quote that you came a long way in a very short time [where, time = no. of posts] :)

As always, this collage is no exception. A marvellous work abstracted in a single picture, is very pleasing to look at.
As you, I also admire the beauty of the butterflies and feel that they are one of the tender and lovely creatures of the 'Nature'.

Again, my heartiest wishes and good luck for your photography, personal- and professional- life in the days to come.

Have a nice weekend!

with best regards,
Paras Bhalla

O, moje gratulacje Krzysiek!

Dwusetny post to juz jest cos, szczegolnie, ze Twoje posty zawsze zaliczaja sie do kategorii bardzo ciekawych. Dzieki Twojej pracy poznalem naprawde wiele ciekawych zwierzakow. Motylki bardzo dobrze sie sprawdzaja przy takich okazjach - wszystkie sa bardzo ladnie zlapane. Ciekawa notka, linki i ws - masa pracy, ale widze, ze ludzie ja docenili. Czekam na kolejne ciekawe gatunki i miejsca!

Cześć Krzysiu
Super kolaż z samych ciekawych i pięknych zdjęć.
Gratuluję 200-nego zdjęcia i życzę dalszych sukcesów fotograficznych.
No i dziękuję za dedykację - przy okazji widzę, że Twoje 100-ne zdjęcie przegapiłam :)
Pozdrawiam
