Hi Ivan!

Your beautiful butterfly picture is well accompanied by interesting and instructive notes. From the technical point of view, the picture is fine, too. I'm surprised that with your exposure settings you get such a blurred background. Is this the result of postprocessing?

Kind regards

Hola Sr. Ivan.
Otra muy bella foto lograda con un telefoto, el angulo de la toma desde la parte superior nos permite ver con claridad los colores de las alas y el abdomen de este Mariposa. La nota escrita es de gran valor educativo, pues tiene en sus letras una infrmacion muy valiosa.
Saludos Sr. Ivan. Un fuerte abrazo como siempre.

You know so much about these Ivan....I wonder if you and your wife speak about the4se things..I know I do with Jane...but Jane is not a photographer, yet she knows a good image when she sees one...I think most of your contribution comes from collaborated image and writing..not from just one source but from many...and it is what makes you images and notes so special and why folks rely on you for correct information. You are a gold mine!

Hallo Ivan
This is such a magnificent and colourful insect. I just love the assortment of colours and patterns on the wings and especially the white lining along the edges are very eye-catching. The plumpish body is very fascinating. Sharpness, focus, light and composition is prominent. Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed looking at this one.
Kind regards

hello Ivan,
Happy again to read your interesting comments going with an excellent picture. I was always just wondering about the different shapes of abdomen between males and females and I was just wrong, believing it was te other way around;-(.
I have seen a quite similar Net butterfly this weekend, I'm just not sure about the species. May be I will put it soon on TN.
Merci et bonne soirée

You impress me with you knowledge about "feminine curves" of butterflies, Ivan.
;-)!!
This young butterfly is in strapping health as is visible from its lustrous wings and generous abdominal curves.
Beautiful capture against a soothing brown BG.

Hello Ivan. The thumbnail is attractive and begging me to click this in full view. The butterfly itself is positioned in perfect symmetry in the frame with stunning sharpness and detail. The full spread wings exposing the marking very well. The plant is perched on is so sharp with the tiny hair is well visible. What amazed me is the optics utilized in this capture. This is more of a telephoto shot than a macro capture with the result of a fine macro lens. Very well done and thanks for sharing. Best regards and have a nice day. Jusni
