Hi Ivan. What a bright one this is lucky to have your camera. As you say much brighter than the flowers. You have captured it with fine detail and good use of the light to give the natural colours. well done .TFS.

Hello Ivan
It seems we were both out dog walking and captured Butterflys!!
This is a superb capture of the male Scarce Copper..Your Combination of the 300mm and convertor has produced fantastic sharp details especially as the wings are in an almost bowl like pose.
Best Regards
Paul

Also many Thanks for your warm words and adding my Juvenile Blackbird to your favourites.

Hi Ivan,

I love it! The butterfly and the story. So, if not for Putte this would be Ulla's shot - I'm laughing. Seriously, the pose on the blade of grass, the vivid colors, and the sharp details are all superb.

merhaba Ivan,
today I received two great messages from you. many thanks for your kind words and especially very nice to hear from you.
This is great macro-shot for Lycaena virgaureae with great focus, POV, superb colors and composition. In last year, I was seeing many Lycaena in red colors. But in this year, they are rare. I have seen only several ones and mostly from Northern Cyprus.
Also nice to see this beautiful species from your objective. Thanks for sharing it with good information. Best wishes my friend

The orange of the wings of this Scarce Copper is dazzling, Ivan. Interesting story about the misnomer.
Brilliant image, both technically and aesthetically.
I caught some Plains Cupid Blues with the wings open recently but the colour is not all that bright blue.
Thanks and regards.

hello Ivan

WOW ! first what a beautiful butterfly with the vivid colour tones
and the black outlines, very fine POV, superb DOF,
beautiful luminosity and colour tones of the composition,
excellent sharpness and details of the butterfly,

i already wrote you, in my biggining in TN i wasn't
a butterfly photo fan, i became it little by little,
but still my primary subject are the birds and wild animals
it is why i don't have a theme (for favorite photo) on butterflies,
but if i had it one, this would be the first image of that theme,

TFS alot for this fine nature image

Hi Ivan,

The close-up of the Scarge Copper is showing the details and colors of the butterfly which are clear and sharp. The orange color is an eye catcher. The light has a good effect on the colors. The subject is well frame. Have a nice day.
