What a perfect specimen, Gert.
It sure seems to be showing off its exquisite beauty.
Gorgeous details and colors. It looks like a jewel, with those bright blue spots against the rich orange and black.

HI Gert, I'm sorry you had to travel all that way to get a small tortoiseshell, they are pretty common here. It's a nice shot, lovely focus work and colours, very well done.

(I've stopped using points now so I'm sorry that I can't leave any)

Hello Gert,
I saw this years many butterflies. I would say this year was better for butterflies than 2005. For hoverflies it is a bad year. - Your butterfly shot from the Small Tortoiseshell is perfect! Excellent framing, POV and sharpness. Natural colours and very nice bg too. As usual a great note too. This is an excellent composition my friend.
Thank you for posting. Have a nice day.

Hi Gert,
Glad you're back from vacation. Think I'll take one now :)
Very nice detail, color, DOF, exposure and cross framing. The purple & white flowers that border the frame on three sides add very well also..
Beautiful b-fly mf.
Very well done.

Una composición tradicional, pero siempre efectiva con adecuado colorido y nitidez.
El POV es el correcto para apreciar los detalles del insecto en su totalidad.
El foco es bueno, aunque el DOF elegido ha dejado un foco un poco soft sobre la punta superior del ala ... una vez que encuentro un pequeño defecto... jejeje.
Coridales saludos... Ricardo

A traditional, but always effective composition with appropriate coloring and clarity.
The POV is correct to appreciate the details of the insect in their entirety.
The focus is good, although elected DOF has left a little soft on the superior extremity of the wing... one occasion that I find a little defect... jejeje.
Best regards... Ricardo

Hi Gert,
such a beauty - and with a perfect 3D-Effect.
I like the colours and the sharpness.
I haven't seen many butterflies this year, we always have wind, not possible to make good shots. So thanks for yours, bye

Very nice POV all with an excellent exposure. It almost feels like you caught this butterfly hovering over it landing pad. :)
