Nice work, Mirceax. I admire the patience of all you insect photographers. I don't know how you do it! The simplicity of the background and the sharpness and detail of the subjects are wonderful. I do better with mountains that give me time to think!

Salutare,
Foarte faina poza.
Imi plac detaiile foarte fine ale imaginii si pov-ul tau.
Tocmai terminasem de citit o lucrare pe ciclul zilnic de activitate al speciei unde spune ca maximul de activitate al lui M.s. este intre 18 si 20 (asta in sudul Spaniei) in Romania eu am observat doua maxime; una intre 8 si 10 si alta intre 18 si 20 asta pe caldurile acestea ingrozitoare, posibil ca atunci cand este mai racoare si nori specia sa "danseze" mai mult.
Numai bine,
Iulian

Hi Mircea,
Outstanding capture!
It's very good this picture, you frozen so good the flight of this moth, with a very appropriate high shutter speed.
I like so much the high quality of the shoot, the excellent composition made and the fill flash used, that gives you a very good and homogenous light.
A remarkable image!
My compliments and thanks for share it.
Best regards,
JM

Hello Mircea,
Perfect capture of this wonderful very fast moth.
Composition, sharpness, ighting and DOF are all superb and due to that the details, colors, movement in the wings and very pleasing soft background are wonderful.
Excellent work. My compliments.
Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards,
Harry

Mircea, Such a lovely picture. This insect amazes me. The way it hovers around steadily on the flowers while it sips nectar is amazing. I have attempted to take pictures of this mobile insect with very limited success. Your picture of this difficult to photograph Hawk Moth is excellent.

Hi Mercia,

Absolutely stunning. You have amazingly well to capture this creature in flight, and in such detail. A really effective shot and great to look at. Perfect.
