Hi Vicma

Another splendid macro from you, my friend!
I really like the POV from where you took this shot as well as the spot-on exposure you managed here. Due to that, all the colors here turned out so nice, too.
The details are great and sahrp, but i'm affraid the DOF is a bit too shallow - especially for the right wing.

Anyway, Bravo and TFS

Hello Victor,
perfectly clear and well composed capture of this pretty and precious endemite species. I like the pleasantly subtle colours.
Thank you! With best regards,
Peter

Hola Victor. Bella la Mariposa. Colores naturales y fina estampa de este insecto.Un fondo difuso que le da realce al objetivo principal. En lo personal y cuando hay oportunidad manejo diferentes aberturas a fin de lograr que todo salga dentro de foco, se que se pierde el fondo, pero tengo manera de escoger la foto mejor. Un Saludote y un gran abrazo mi buen amigo. Luis52.

Hi Vicma,

Stunning macro shot, with fine detail and beautiful colours. Great work.

Kind regards,

Hello Vicma,
Very interesting to see this Canarian sub-species of our Speckled Wood. Excellent composition in beautiful colours and showing fine details. A little soft on focus on the right wing, otherwise perfect.
Many thanks and regards, Ulla

Hi Vicma.
Tender captured scene, my friend. I like it a lot. The pictured specimen is fine. Its colour pattern, pose and wingspread are amazing as well as the leaf and blurred BG. DOF is shallow a bit. Using macro lens I never use so large aperture value and low ISO speed. Presentation of the picture is great as always. My best regards and TFS.

Hola Victor, tremendo parecido con P. aegeria, la verdad que yo no se aún los detalles que las diferencian y creo que esa no la tenemos en el continente ya que no sale en mi librito de consulta jeje. Una buena composición , pero su ala derecha no supo colocarla bien ( la mariposa ) para que el foco fuera perfecto; no todo es culpa del fotógrafo no ?
Que tengas un buen Domingo por esa bonita tierra. Si no se tuerce nada tengo previsto viaje a Chile en Febrero, pero de foto poca o nada ya que será visita de trabajo.

Hola Vicma,
This species of Pararge is the most attractive IMHO and you have captured it beautifully with good sharpness, colours, POV and pose,together with a fine contrasting OOF BG and this with only f 3.2!
Well done and TFS!

Classic pose - wonderful colors - great details - fantastic shot!!!

Hello Vicma,
What a nice specie this is! I like this perspective, colors and natural exposure. It is a pity that its right wing has moved though or is it du to this aperture? Anyway, this is a nice picture to look at :) Thanks,

simple mais belle image de ce papillon aux ailes déployées. Les couleurs sont naturelles, la lumière bien dosée. Juste dommage que l'aile droie soit hors DOF.
