Super lighting. I went to you EXIF information to see if you used a higher ISO but it doesn't say...I guess from you distance and the shutter speed and good sun...it worked out so well...a bit of sharpening in PP doesn't show to me at all..If you had not said it, I would never have known. Great.

Hola Sra. Ulla.
Bella presentacion. La primera impresion de este Macro es sin duda la exelente iluminacion que nos permite observar los detalles en las alas de la Mariposa, que por cierto es tambien muy bella. La nota escrita de gran valor.
Saludos Sra. Ulla.

Hello Ulla,
I just posted a Glanville Fritillary too, before I see yours! I like your shot because it shows also the Plantago, the plant associated to this butterfly. Very well done. TFS,
Catherine

Hello Ulla ,

This is a very pleasing shot for its 'all-round' interest. Besides showing a very detailed and interestingly patterned butterfly, you have also shown, in equal detail, the important aspects of its environment. Well done.

kind regards,
Bev :-)

hello Ulla

i saw first your image in the thumbnail and i was decided
to keep my critique and smileys to bird or wild animal photos,
but when i cliqued your thumbnail and saw this wonderful image
i can not pass and not give critique and smileys,

very very beautiful image of this wonderful butterfly,
with very very fine POV, DOF (i love the DOF of your image)
and framing, very beautiful luminosity of the image,
great sharpness and details, and excellent density
of the colours (i love it), TFS alot

Hi Ulla,

There is another winged insect near the butterfly and it is equally sharp and distinct, Ulla.
The Fritillary is stunningly beautiful in this well-controlled shot.
The vegetation in the BG is effectively segregated from the subject and forms a nice backdrop for it.
But who is that second subject?
TFS and regards.

Excellent capture!!!
The DOF really isolates this butterfly against it's BG.
Well composed and a great parallel POV.
Superb light and natural colours.

Well done, Ulla!
