Top quality as usual, Ivan.
Very beautiful light and colours, excellent sharpness and a great contrast against the OOF BG. Very pleasant composition, DOF and POV.

Peter

Hi,
Yes, I agree with about dark subject against brighter backgrounds, its always difficult. Here you managed to get the balance. Fine species and specimen, image too. tfs.

Hi Ivan dostum!

Outstanding shot!! Like something you'd see in some international books.
Amazingly clear and sharp, well composed and focused too. A truly impressive capture MF!
Regarding the time, It's realy been a some time! Indeed as a respectable and also heartfelt friend (at least for me), i would be wish to see your meaningful comment/critique when i reached a milestone shot-that i have dedicated to Nature- on TN! But you sure that i know your good feelings!
Anyway, thanks for sharing this rarely seen beauty and also for your all contributions and support to me.
Have a great day MF!
Cheers,

Bayram

Bonjour Yvan,
Happy to see a picture of an Erebia-species. Always a challenge to make good pictures of these creatures! You had good light at disposition and made a pleasing composition. May be the head-part is a little bit unsharp.
Kind regards

Hej Ivan,
a fine close-up of the Skogsgräsfjäril, I like the diagonla position. DOF is good with the whole butterfly in focus and the
bg in nice blur. Fine and natural colours.
Very good work.

Jag tror att jag har en bild den tillsammans med en turkos blåvinge, där man verkligen ser skilland i storlek på dem.

Hälsningar

Tack ska du ha. Hälsningar,
Ahmet

Hi Ivan,
charming, well lighted presentation of Ligea. The workshop is doing the necessary job to verify that ringlet's identity by showing the underside of wings. Very nice to see the iridescence of that fresh specimen's wings.
You really have encouraged me to review my own series of varoius Erebias from the summers of 2008 and 2009. Will be back as soon as my time allows. Heavy loads of work in my job in these weeks, unfortunately.
Have a nice day! With best regards,
Peter

P.S.: Thank you for your visit and very kind words to my Water Ringlet a few days ago. Being an irregular visitor to TN myself, I am always happy and grateful to realize that my friends don't forget me.

Hi Ivan,
the diagonal pose of the butterfly is lovely with good bokeh to enhance it beauty.
The balanced light that hits the wing is so special that it gives a nice glow and silvery reflection.
I like the effect of the light onto the leaves and the graphical effect of the criss-crossing light in the BG.,

regards,
Foozi

parameters like color, DOF and exposure is spot on and its a pleasant picture to watch :-) on the composition front i feel a little off center composition would have had a better impact from the viewer's viewpoint buts that's a personal opinion
