[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
What I know for sure is that these orange beauties are quite rare in my region. I've seen only one such butterfly this summer.

As for the ID. I think this can be a male of Large Copper Lycaena dispar. I'm not sure though, so any ideas if it is correct are very welcome.

The picture have been taken on a wet meadow near small river. I've seen there only one butterfly and I met him only once.

It wasn't so easy to take this picture because the plant, he was feeding on, grew almost in water and I couldn't get as close as I would like to without getting my shoes wet.

it's a nice one Monica,
you must have some luck by a shot like this one, the composition is nice, the pov is nice and the dof is very nice, very good job.

You didn't wet your shoes for nothing, Monika. This is a wonderful capture and you have got everything right -- POV, DOF, colours and clarity. TFS.

Hi Monika,
that's the perfect 3D-effect here. I love the colour of this beautiful butterfly so much, thanks for sharing

Monika, your ID is fine - many references show the male dispar with more spots on the forewings, but there is no doubt about this one. Scarce and local throughout Europe (the endemic form extinct in the UK), you are lucky to see it. Nicely photographed.
Regards, Nigel.

Fantastic capture Monika! The butterfly is beautiful the details show really well, the OOF background is nice and soft. :)

Very nice shot Monika, great macro. I like the details, sharpness and POV/DOF. Great work! Thank you for sharing.
Greetings,
Heinz
