Inachis io

The European Peacock (Nymphalis io), more commonly known simply as the Peacock butterfly, is a well-known colourful butterfly, found in temperate Europe and Asia. It is the only member of the subgenus Inachis, which is included in Nymphalis genus, (the name is derived from Greek mythology, meaning Io, [the daughter] of Inachus). It should not be confused or classified with the "American peacocks" in the genus Anartia; these are not close relatives of the present species. The peacock butterfly is resident in much of its range, often wintering in buildings or trees. It therefore often appears quite early in spring.

Frumoasa imagine.Cu claritatea am avut si eu multe probleme, dar se rezolva. Am facut citeva poze despre pasari cu Nikon D60, asta este a doua camera pe care o folosesc.Astazi am pus acest pitigoi de brad, sper ca o sa-ti placa!

Hello Mariana
a nice picture of the peacock butterfly.
Good sharpness and DOF, the butterfly it's a bit dark on my monitor. And for the composition, it had been nicer it the
butterfly had more space in front and less behind, now it looks it is ready to escape out of the frame.
But it is still a nice picture.

Best Regards
Gert

Ciao Mariana. Inteersting POV and great DOF you've obtained. Very good contrast and amazing BG.

Hello Mariana,
A fine capture of I. io taken from agreat POV to contrast well with the pale leafy BG with fine sharpness, colours and lighting.
In this composition the left side of the image has no value so the the eye looks at thye right side.
Thanks and best regards,
Ivan

Hi Mariana . This is such a beautiful butterfly which you have taken so well. Your top POv lets us see all of the wing markings with rich colours. It stands out from the light green leaves. All with fine detail and sharp focusing. well taken TFS.
