Hi Chris.
You were absent so long time. But now you are here with wonderful close-up butterfly picture. I am glad to watch it a lot. Excellent colour and detail reproduction of the beautiful butterfly/ I like precise DOF and impressive blurred BG. Lights and shadows are decorate the scene perfectly too. Well done and kind regards.

Hello Chris,
you show a nice picture of B. selene with pretty good sharpness and natural colours.
It contrasts well against the flower and the background.
The light is pleasant and well balanced so that details even of the dark parts can be recognized.
The background appears optimal.
... thank you for your kind comments on a series of my recent pictures.
I hope to see more butterfly postings from you next time.
Best wishes, Peter

Hello Chris,
Excellent capture of a female Pearl-bordered Fritillary. You can see that she is a little worn and that her body is no longer swollen with eggs. This is anice and sharp and I like the composition on the scabious flower: something to look forward to!
Thanks for sharing this beauty,
Ivan

Kind regards
