Hi Paul,
an excellent composition with very good DOF and detail. Very nice bright light that shows off the markings perfectly too, well done!

Hello Paul,
A great macro!
This is classical razor-sharp capture of a freshly-emerged female Brown Hairstreak seen from an ideal POV in the closed-wing pose.
A real beauty to have in your garden and a fine opportunity well taken.
This species seems to be more common than usual this year so we were lucky to be able to photograph it.
TFS,
Regards, Ivan

This is a wonderful close up of Thecla betulae. I couldn't see it yet. As I know it generally stay on the top of oak trees...

Hello Paul,

What a nice shot! You have made good use of the strong light exposing well and rendering a great amount of color tones from butterfly's wings. DOF is well adapted to the subject showing sharp clear details of the whole insect.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

Hello Paul,
What a splendid capture of the Brown Hairstreak on what looks like a cultivated flower (in your garden??). I don't think I've seen it on a flower before! Very beautiful composition with great focus on the butterfly, sharp details and beautiful colours. A fine background too. Well done!!
TFS and cheers, Ulla

Paul, awefully sorry for late reciprocation to your kind comment on my picture of a Flower Beetle. I was out to Goa for a short holiday.
Yes, I saw Ivan's image of the same butterfly. You too have captured this beauty very well. The image is very sharp and the colours are brilliant.
Thanks and regards.
