I realized that it's almost season's end and i haven't posted a butterfly this year...i didn't like that.

I know there are VERY MANY of them in the Gallery nowadays, but i promise i'll only post one.

This is a Silver-studded Blue female - Plebejus argus (thanks friends!)

This is for Horia Scubli (horias) or Greg (red45) who have posted so many of these little beauties this year.

Hope you'll like it and thanks for visiting.

Este , sunt sigur de asta, este cea mai reusita postare a unei femele de Plebejus argus (Silver-studded Blue) pe care am vazut-o pe acest portal.
Felicitari pentru calitate,culoare si realizare.
La asemenea calitate, regret ca nu ai mai postat fluturi in acest an.

Hello Horia,
Only one, but an amazing one. The most of us can learn from this quality. Sharpness, details, natural colours, composition, OOF BG, POV are all superb.
Regards,
Peter

Horia:
ID - I agree with the other Horia! 100% P. argus. Apart from the blue "eyes" in the hindwing margin, the key feature separating it from idas is the spine marked in my "workshop" image. Nice, tight crop showing all the key details. Very nice!
Regards, Nigel.

Ciao Horia, lovely little butterfly with splendid colors, fantastic details and excellent sharpness, wonderful blurry BG, very well done, ciao Silvio

Horia
Oare de ce captura ta este ata de grozava, fata de incercarile mele?
Cred ca pui si putin suflet in ea.
Felicitari pentru asemenea minunatie.

hello Horia
super composition with good details and beautiful colours
great shot
greeting lou

Excelenta imagine Horia,
Culori si detalii superbe. Un fundal blurr-at foarte placut. Este ca sa zic asa.....perfecta!
Marius.

Pfiu, dar e extraordinar! Ce ai facut de a iesit atat de bine? Se disting pana si solzii de pe aripi;dispunerea lor. Ca si Horia(2) zic ca e cea mai buna si clara fotografie cu un fluture, nu numai cu aceasta specie, pe care cel putin eu am vazut-o!
Toate cele bune!
Oana
PS: si ws, adica crop-ul...fantastic.

Horia, amazing shot with superb quality. The composition is brilliant and lovely. The DOF and other things are very nice. Ganesh

What an amazing macro, Horia!
Simply superb from any aspect!
Very well done!
Goldy

Hi Horia

Good composition, sharpness and details
Good DOF and background

Hi Horia,
very precisely taken - the first time I really can see that diagnostic "spine". I like to see and take portraits of blues: when taking a closer look at their pictures their true identities often come as a surprise.
Beautiful drab colours of dry summer, too.
With thanks, and best regards,
Peter
