Hi Gert, these butterflies are so great. Though we don't have this species in my country (but similar ones), they are amoung other butterflies hard to see. The sharp details on the hairy back are well shown. Good one.
Have a good leave.....

Hello Gert
Very nice dedication to Ivan.
Altough this is not one of the most colorful butterflies it's a wonderful species coused by the hairy look.
Like always in your images sharpness and clarity are great and details beautiful.
Have a great weekend, Harry

Hej Gert,
Thank you very much for the dedication! Much appreciated.
This is an excellent capture of the Large Grizzled Skipper, Kattunvisslaren, a species that I tried to photograph on Gotland some years ago but I only got one very poor shot. So it's nice to see a successful shot that is sharp throughout, taken fron an excellent POV and set in a nice composition against the leaf that it is settled on.
I must visit Grinduga next year!
TFS and have a fine time in Värmland!
Bästa hälsningar, Ivan

Hello Gert,
small furry skippers are most suitable objects to show photographic skills as is done here. By optimal point of view and excat focus you open the potentials to study the details of the skipper, in particular its 'hairs', the wing scales and the antennae. Besides the professional presentation of the skipper, the picture is perfectly composed.
Best wishes, Peter

Hello Gert,
These little ones are hard to catch so you've done really well! This shot is excellent, very sharp and well composed. Nice warm light too.
Hope you have a really good holiday!

Hi Gert,
this one is lovely, I like the wide open wings to see every detail of the hairy body.
I'm just back from Italy - and I'm sad, there were almost no butterflies, I wonder where they have been?!? But I saw some nice dragonflies and flowers. Bye and greetings

Great detail and exposure again.

Hi Gret.
What the "beercan" (and you) can. Tremendous picture. Terrific reproduction of this fluffy beauty. Lights, colours, sharpness are great as well as nice BG and 3d-effect. Bravo and kind regards.

Hi Gert

What a cute little hairy-fairy and a great dedication to Ivan. Maybe there are many butterflies flying around that can boast with a superior "coat-of-many-colours", but I don't think there's one with more beard. This is a truly fascinating species / specimen.

The composition worked great with the leaf cradling the butterfly and the superior details are in a league of its own. The splendid fresh colours gave it wonderful visual stimulus and the spot-on exposure levels ensured remarkable contrasts.

Great work and TFS.
Best regards.

Hej Gert
Vad roligt att att se massor med fina fjärilar fotograferade :) Jag är inte direkt intresserad att de men en fin bild är en fin bild och de är alla jätte bra presenterade. Du är en proffs och vet hur man använder kameran och om det inte varit de små håriga flygande varelser det kunde varit något annat. Kan man då kan man!
Jag ser du använder CS3 vilket jag väntar att uppgradera från CS2 i slutet av sommaren. Det kostar en del så jag väntar efter semestern :) Hoppas att Villan återhämtar sig tillbaka så kan vi ta en fotorunda som sist :)
I'll be back :)
Hälsningar
Ralf
p.s. Det regnar :(

Of course I like it, Gert!

You got an excellent POV and an excellent exposition in order to get this nice and sharp picture of this rare Hesperiidae! I like the fact that we can even feel the "fur" of the insect :-)

Having the insect in the same plan, I'm wondering if you chose a bigger aperture (f5.6) you should have maybe a less busy bg keeping the details of the butterfly...

Anyway, it is a great picture and TFS, Gert!
