Hello Ulla,
a brilliant and well-composed picture of our smallest Nymphalinae-species here in Europe. Focus and sharpness are just on the butterfly and the grass leaf it is resting on. All other parts of the picture are sufficiently blurred so that the main player attracts our whole attention. I always like the colours of your pictures because they are very natural throughout.
Best wishes, Peter

Hello Ulla,
Apart from the fact that this is brilliant capture of a Map Butterfly, I absolutely adore that very shapely long blade of grass on which you "nailed" the subject [to use Simon's favourite expression :-)].
Superb point of view, razor sharp focus on the entire subject, beautiful colours and an outstanding composition.
Very many thanks for sharing this masterpiece of a picture and best regards,
Ram

Truly beautiful! The BG is absolutely lovely in colour and dissolved in unsharpeness so that the butterfly gets enhanced in it's beauty.

I love the idea of using workshops this way and I learned something about this specie by your WS. How great!

Thanks for this/Bengt

Hi Ulla,

Great shot of the Map Buttefly, nicely composed shot with a great POV and pose, the detail is excellent and lovely colours, I like the way the Butterflt is isolated from the BG, the Workshops are great too showing us the underside of the Butterly and the one from later in the year.

Hi Ulla

Another beautiful macro shot from you!
Your POV here was really terrific and the pose of the butterfly was also superbly caught.
The details are great, too and the colors are well saturated.
The shots from the two workshops are great, too.
Very well done!

Bravo and TFS

Well done Ulla
As I said to Ivan, I can't believe how species you guys shot on your holiday, lucky you both like photography :)
Good shot of this battle worn specimen.
The central composition works on this occasion. Great sharpness and OOF background (using f4 I see).

Hello Ulla,
beautifully presented Araschnia levana, the blade of grass providing an elegant stage for the actress. Obviously a well established newcomer to your place. Here we do not see the orange coloured spring version that often, don't know why, while the black summer version seems to be around in much larger numbers later in the year.
Thank you! With best regards,
Peter
