We have this saying in Hindi which would translate into "Praising this would be tantamount to showing light to the Sun".
I think this is one of the best shots, aesthetically speaking, over and above the superlatively excellent technicalities.
Thanks so much for sharing this lovely shot, Anne.

Once again, you have exercised your artistic discretion in framing and presenting this interesting Skipper with its wings open, Anne.
Aren't those delicately coloured little flowers you have so judiciously retained within the frame the famed 'Forget-Me-Nots'?
Excellent use of ambient light in this capture.
Thanks and regards.

Bonjour Anne,
A wonderful macro of a male Carcharodus alceae, a species we don't have in Sweden. The POV is great and taken with fine sharpness and lighting on the Forget-me-not flowers, that also provide afine OOF natural BG.
Merci et bonne soirée,
Amitiés,
Ivan

Hallo Anne !

Eine hervorragende Makro.
Kontrast und Farbe sind außergewöhnlich.
Ich glaube,dass ich die ganze Familie der Schmetterlinge lernen kann.
Eine gute Nacht,

Hi Ann. As Ram said you have taken this with a fine POV and pose on the flower. But most of all a very good close up of the Mallow-Skipper. We can see all of the wing markings. with natural colours. well done TFS.

Bonjour Anne !
J'adore cette photo, avec le joli papillon gris, et les magnifiques fleurs bleues tout autour de lui. La composition est sublime, tout comme les couleurs et les détails sur le papillon. C'est un vrai régal pour les yeux ! :-) Félicitations !

Hi Anne
Beautiful, natural image. I like relatively wide frame and perfect blured background. On the other hand I am wondering how it looks like croped a little bit more tight ;-) There is also a little noie in background

Gracias por los comentarios Anne.
Tu fotografía es preciosa, es una buena combinación de arte y técnica . La luz bien trabajada, algo dura pero muy efectiva. Buena profundidad que capta perfectamente el espacio por la oportuna referencia de la bella planta de la parte derecha. Un excelente encuadre. Muy buen trabajo !

Saludos: Josep Ignasi.
