Hallo Ivan
This week time is critical; however...............................Your image is sunny, bright and creates a feeling of cheerfulness. An excellent capture with lots of clear and admirable details. The bright colours of both the butterfly and the flowers are stunning. The clarity of the striped antenna is amazing. Is this where your username orginated from, the Brown Argus butterfly? It would be very interesting to know.Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards.

The female counterpart of your namesake looks soo nice on the composit florets, happily sucking nectar Ivan, the natural colours of browns, yellows, reds and whites create a beautiful composition sharply focused over the fuzzy BG. Thank you indeed my friend for sharing this fine tableau with us.

Splendida macro, ottimi POV e composizione con i fiori gialli che incorniciano i magnifici colori di questa bellissima farfalla, molto buona la nitidezza e ottima definizione dei dettagli, stupendi luce e BG. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Your yellow backdrop is dripping with colours...and yet the butterfly is strong enough to withstand it..wow...your weather patterns have certainly changed for the better. We have had sunny and flow filled days but still at nights and in the early morn's it is chilly almost to freezing...and I have small plants out...I am sure the flying insects will be fine as this however..now if I can only find them,:-)

Hi Ivan,
You have come out with a photo that cheers up the viewer. The bright yellow flowers and the green leaves makes the butterfly stand out. I don't think that we have this specimen here in our part of the world. TFS, Regards

Dear Ivan,
This is so beautiful, the colours are so rich and a catalyst that can work wonders to uplift one's mood. The composition is wonderful, rich in tones with details on the head and the right wing of the butterfly coming out very well. I like the Pov and the DoF you have managed here. The OOF yellow flowers add to the overal mood of the composition.
Very well done.
TFS & Cheers
