Furry one :-) Its wing looks like ancient persian carpet and antennas like airport tower :-) what a strange and beautiful creature! I like composition and colours. Great DOF.

Yo podré capturar monstruos querido amigo, pero tu retratas beldades como esta permanentemente.
El colorido y texturado de esta pequeña mariposa es maravilloso... y la agudeza de la imagen permite ver todos sus detalles.
Gran perspectiva con una diagonal adecuada y un perfecto DOF.

I will be able to capture monsters dear friend, but your you portray beauties like this permanently.
The colorful one and weave of this small butterfly are wonderful... and the sharpness of the image allows to see all its details.
Great perspective with a suitable diagonal and a perfect DOF.

Gert
This one is a sheer pleasure, Thanks for sharing.
I see you say the extension rings is fine enough with other lenses and that the 180 is not really necessary. I also bought them, but have not really tried.
How far are you from the subject here and at what mm did you shoot.
I do not know how to safe raw as jpeg, where do you do this in PS?

Gosh...this is a beauty! I have never seen this species of Hairstreak...I just checked out my lep guide and since it is not listed I guess we don't have this variety in the US. It is so lovely with that green/gold irridescent shimmer. You did a fabulous job capturing this jewel, Gert!

Great shot Gert. Despite its lack of markings I love its antennas, eyes and fluffy body it looks so different. Good use of DOF. Nice one.

Beautiful capture of this little chap which is clearly a relative of our blue ones. Don't know if these are to be found in Denmark, too, but I wish they were ;-)) Great diagonal and sharpness, nicely oof background and gorgeous colours.
