Hi Gert

Wow... two in one shot! Now I am impressed!! Not only have you captured the exquiste b'fly, but you have also got a fly on the flower. The colours are lovely and bright. The b'fly wing is sensational! What an array of colour. A truly wonderful find. Thanks Gert for another incredible image.

Superb capture Gert, the butterfly and the fly. I am amazed at the different colours in the Red Admiral, colours that don't even go together, it looks like an artists pallette with all the colours blurring in together. NIce and sharp, excellent catch, well done.

Hi Gert, lovely shot of a Red Admiral. I'd under-expose a little more for those small splashes of white and the mouth area. I have to say that I'm finding butterfly shots more of a challenge with my SLR than with my old fuji so I appreciate the the quality of this shot. Fantastic sharpness, DOF and BG. Lovely :)

Hello Gert. Very colorful butterfly, even in its underwings. Interesting and unusual profile POV. Details on the whole picture, including butterfly, flowers, and fly... are tack sharp. Wonderful colors... I especially like that pink on the flower (and I am not a pink person!). Lovely shot. TFS. : )

I was not happy last days Gert, the butterflies are gone for the moment, just a few let them see. The dragonflies, are flying and flying and don't have a stop. So I must wait. Your shot is nice, Ofcoarse would I say, with your experience, I accept only good photo's from your hand. Otherwise you don't put them here on the site. Very good pov, good details and a nice composing shot, very good job my friend.

It's seems that all Swedish butterflies are in Poland - there's really plenty of them this year ;)
The photo is perfect, has good details and lighting. Classic POV and composition works well, and the fly is a nice bonus ;)
Ovearall, great post.

Well, Gert, I hope your vision is ok to appreciate the magnificent colors of your Red Admiral. It is a beautifull butterfly. I wish I can 'capture' one one day.
The rain is rare here. Maybe that has an effect on butterflies population.
A great 'job', skillful friend!
Have a good weekend!
