Hi Ivan.
What a surprise. Anne and you have pictured the same species and shared them next each other. Superb sharpness and details of the fine specimen. Every hair is visible perfectly. POV is great and butterfly poses to you excellently too. I like impressive, dark and nicely smoothed BG. It is wonderful canvas for this beauty. Bravo. Well done.

Hello Ivan,
Seems like "Butterfly" is the subject of the day, this is a beautiful skipper. The hair is very visible and sharp, nice POV.
Well done

How sharp is your picture illustrating beautifully this butterfly (or is it a moth??!!, in French we use the same word for both, papillon and I'm always mixed up!) Funny because Alex99 tried his new prime lens on a butterfly and there you are too with your new camera! Wow! I like the angle of the butterfly, the creamy background, the beautiful earth tone of the picture. Thank you, it is superb,

Hi Ivan. A new camera i see i have looked at the 50D btut having the 40D i will stay with it for a while. You have put it to good use all ready with this fine picture of the Grizzled Skipper . Your top POV lets us see the wing markigs withgood detail and colour. The white markings look ok with underexposing by two stops. well done TFs.

Hello Ivan,
this is a perfect picture of the small skipper. All parts of the specimen are very sharp
up to the antenna tips. I like the clear presentation of the the wing pattern and the
well working contrast against the background.
Best wishes, Peter

Hi Ivan,

You are Alexei's neighbor today and both of you shot butterflies with long telephoto lens. Both have excellent result even with different brands of equipment.

You have registered this image in perfect perch at the tip of the leaf with so much details exposed. The framing is flawless and TFS.

Best regards,
Jusni

Hello Ivan!
Very nice capture of Grizzled Skipper, I especially like composition and DOF. I agree with you that it is very difficult to take so good photo (I have problems with butterflies all the time... :>), but you were lucky and the picture was taken in very prefessional way :>
Greetings from Lodz for you and Ulla!

Hi Ivan,

I thought you had new equipment and you have just confirmed it. Congratulations and use it well. I think you have mastered it already. I don't remember seeing a Grizzled Skipper before but it is very beautiful. The colors, details and textures are wonderful. I love the diagonal composition and marvelous background.

Hello Ivan,
I have to come say hello to my Skipper-neighbour! I'm a little late, but I was in Valais where I don't have internet.
Ver sharp picture of this small butterfly which is indeed not easy to photograph. I made the same experience.
Simple and natural shot.
Have a nice day
