Hi Ivan. Once again a fine close up of this rare Oberthur’s Grizzled Skipper. You were able to take a first class top view. We can see every marking on the open wings. even the little hairs. All with natural colours. Very well taken TFS.

A beautiful specimen and a detail revealing, excellent dorsal capture Ivan, the interesting species looks more like moth in the body and wing bases, well, nature maybe changed its mind in mid-creation!

Dear Ivan!

I'm always impressed when photographers like you are able to present a first! This Skipper is very beautiful and your picture allows the spectator to get a fine impression of all the details of this insect. Moreover, the superb colour contrast between the Skipper and the Hieracium highlights the plain beauty of it.

Kind regards

Hello Ivan,
A very fine and colorful picture of Pyrgus armoricanus. Excellent composition and sharpness. I must say that I have a lot of difficulties to distinguish the different species of Pyrgus-butterflies.
Un grand merci
Bon après-midi

You certainly worked the depth of field to perfection again. Pretty soon if not now, you will be a Master of the depth of field...something which has eluded many a photographer! Even the flora with its bright yellow doesn't distract. Very nicely done Ivan!

Hi Ivan,
very rare indeed and very special capture from you. The composition of this brownish on yellow flower is nature, but clarity and sharpness of the moth is nurture. Your nurtured skills are really splendid.
Excellent execution of a powerful shot.
