[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Silver-washed Fritillary (Argynnis paphia) is a European species of butterfly. The Sil-ver-washed fritillary butterfly is deep orange with black spots on the upper side of its wings and has a wingspan of 50-70 mm, with the male being smaller and paler than the female. The underside is green and unlike other fritillaries has silver streaks instead of silver spots, hence the name silver-washed. The caterpillar is black-brown with two yellow lines along its back and long reddish-brown spines. Adults feed on the nectar of bramble, thistles and knapweeds and also on aphid honeydew. The silver-washed is a strong flier and more mobile than other fritillaries and as such can be seen gliding above the tree canopy at high speed. It preferred habitat is thin, sunny deciduous woodland especially oaks but has been known to live in coniferous woodland.

Hi Olgierd,
Thanks for posting this Fritillary. Nice colours and background, but I would have cropped a bit tighter. Also, would probably have gone for a longer shutter speed and smaller aperture to try for more DOF. Well done.

Motyl bardzo fajny, trudno go podejść. Co do kompozycji to trochę jak dla mnie za centralnie można byłoby inaczej przyciąć.
Ostrość gdzieś uciekła. Ale chyba to efekt obróbki. W warsztacie umieściłem przykład jak można byłoby skomponować tą fotografię.
ps. plus za notkę...
Serdeczności
