Hi Gert.
This species is in my wish list. In our region they are small too. I am impressed with sharpness and details of the image. DOF is selected greatly. All flower (which is so amazing as pair of insects) and butterflies are in focus and perfectly illuminated. You managed to reflect all colour tones amazingly. BG, its colouration and smoothness are ultimate too. My kind regards and thanks for next masterpiece from ellis49's studio.

Hej Gert!
What a lovely summer capture of these Skippers! I like your POV and the beautiful light. Details are very sharp and colours natural. A fine soft green background too.

Jag kan rekommendera dig Lanzarote - mycket natur och kultur att titta på. Mycket sol också men när vi kom hem blev jag förkyld och är inte frisk än! Fy 17! Om vi har tur får vi sol i em så jag kanske vågar mig ut! Hoppas verkligen vi all får bättre väder framåt Jul.
TFS och ha det så bra! Ulla

Hello Gert,

it's a phantastic picture of the skipper couple. Flower and butterflies are shown with excellent sharpness
which is due to optimal point of view, exact focus and great depth of field.
Colours are natural and the background is really very smooth and nicely contrasting.
This is one of the upper class pictures at TN!

Best wishes and have a nice weekend, Peter

Hi Gert,

Only you would be able to find mating Skippers posed perfectly on the top of a pretty flower! This would be a beautiful picture just for the composition. Add to that the excellent razor sharp details, the rich colors, and the wonderful background and you have a masterpiece!

Hej Gert,
A very fine macro of a pair of mating Essex Skippers taken from an excellent POV with very fine sharpness against a contrasting neutral natural BG. The composition on the Scabious flower is superb too.
A delightful macro from your archives and thanks for sharing it!

Excellent work Gert, the skippers are beautiful on the pink flower and green BG.
Technically right on the money I like to say.
I own one shot of mating skippers..and they were on our wooden fence..
You can imagine how sexy that shot was ;-}
Well done!
