Hello Gert,
We don't have this little Skipper down here so it's very nice to see it!! It's colours and pattern are more striking than most Skippers. Brilliant capture, super sharp, nice colours and I do lilke the Geranium flower. Lovely composition!
TFS and cheers, Ulla

A brilliant capture from you as usual, Gert.
The composition with the flower is stunningly beautiful.
This species of the Skipper you have in Sweden has very interesting patterns and colours on its wings.
Thanks for sharing this lovely image and warm regards.

Hello Gert,
for today, you complete the species of the genus Carterocephalus with silvicola. Nice to see the sharp details of the wing upperside and the skipper-specific designed antennae. Colours and structures of the flower are also beautifully presented. The background appears slightyl noisy in spite of ISO 200 (?) (I have a new computer and a better computer screen since last weekend).
Best wishes, Peter

Hi Gert

A beautiful posting - the geranium is so delicate and provides an excellent foil to the stronger colours of the skipper. The detail is excellent.

Hi Gert,
Doesn't this butterfly know anything about style? Surely he realises that the mauve doesn't go at all with his tan.
Never mind ...
Good detail and composition.
Another great butterfly shot.
Excellent job.

Like the comp and colour contrast bet butterfly and flower. Image was a little noisy, especially since ISO was 200 .. not sure why. Did a workshop.

TFS!

Very beautiful macro Gert.
Sharpness and exposure are superb.
Light, details, soft green color tones in the BG, against wich the butterfly and flower do stand out greatly, and colors are most wonderful.
Perfect work. A real joy to llok at.
Thanks for sharing.
Best regards, Harry

I love the composition on this one, both flower and skipper fill in the frame with fantastic results, plus all those rich colors setting on the dark green background give this image an extra push for added appeal. Well done Gert. :)

Hola Gert, que alegría que mi principal favorito me vote jejeje Poco a poco vamos haciendo alguna cosa interesante.
Tu fotografía excelente y con una increíble profundidad de campo. Tanto el insecto como la flor bien enfocados con buenos colores. La mariposa lo mejor. Un saludo.
