Hi Krzysztof,
Nice autumn presentation! The colours, the worn fritillary, the dried stems on the ground, all remind me of a season just gone by.
This shot quite sharp and very well composed.
Best wishes,
Ivan

Fajne zdjecie. Dobra kompozycja i ladne ostre kolory. Moze wolalabym, zeby na lewym skrzydle byl mniejszy odblask, ale w gruncie rzeczy to drobiazg.
Pozdrawiam

Hi Krzysztof
Nice picture. Well composed and good, sharp colours. Maybe I would prefer that on the left wing there was lower brightness. But that's only detail.
Best wishes
Ania

Hello Krzysztof,
THis is obviously a very late "flyer" that you managed to catch. It looks a bit worn but your image is nice and sharp and colours warm and autumnal.
Thank you for honouring me with the first prize in your competition!! Hope there'll be more!!
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

Hello,
Isn't it the day when we went together for a photo-excursion? It was a very nice day. I also posted some photos taken then. O yes, a very fruitful day.
Nice diagonal composition, by the way :-)
Serdecznosci,
Michal

Czesc Krzysiek :-)

Pieknie przyszpilony motyl. Troche juz zmeczony po dlugim lecie, ale wciaz w niezlym stanie. Lubie takie troche nieuporzadkowane tla - zawsze cos ciekawego mozna tam wypatrzec.

Jestem zaszczycony honorowym drugim miejscem, rozumiem, ze to po znajomosci ;-) Moze tez za jakis czas zrobie maly quiz?

A, no i oczywiscie kocham Lagiewniki, wlasciwie od najmlodszych lat :-)

Slightly worn out specimen, but charming all the same, Krzysztof.
As a biologist, you tend to choose a perspective that frames the subject in such a way that all the details are sharp and clear so that there is no doubt about the credentials of the species in question :-)!
(Sorry, I'm being intentionally flippant; your sense of aesthetics is equally superior.)
Beautiful image, and I really do not worry about the busy BG here.
Regards,
Ram

Well done Krzystof.
Nice sharp detail with great color, DOF, and use of ambient light. It's a well composed frame also..The C8080 was my first. It's a very good camera..in the right hands :)
Happy New Year!
