Hi Dietrich!

Very nice macro of this lesser known Lycaenidae. Good side POV and perfect composition of yellow and silver blue colours. I don't know butterflies of Austria, but it looks quite similiar to Cupido alcetas. Good work!

Sorry, Dietrich, can't help you with the identification but, I can say what a fine capture this is! I love the big, bold close-up, showing the fine details of the wings and body. The narrow dof makes an unobtrusive b/g behind the sharp image of the butterfly and flowers.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hello again, Dietrich.

Sometimes field guides can be deceptive, as there is quite a lot of variation by geography, season and age. This is almost certainly alcetas by use of Occam's Butterfly Field Guide (apologies - field biologist humour ;) and experience. Fortunately, we have a good reference source here on TN as long as we strive to keep identifications as accurate as possible. I would point you to: -

Upperside view from Sergio.

Underside view from Harm.

Harm in particular is outstandingly accurate in his identifications.

Photographically, I cannot criticise this - nice lighting, good depth of field and nice composition - it's all good!

Best wishes, Nigel.

Lieber Dieter,
Ich staune wirklich über all die Spezies, die in deinem Garten auftauchen!
Du musst wahrscheinlich ein geheimes Rezept haben..
Sehr schönes und ausgewogenes Bild eines Schmetterlings, den ich noch nie gesehen habe. Beste Bildschärfe und gefällige Präsentation.
Bravo!
Alles liebe
Anne

Hello Dietrich,

A superb image. You've filled the frame with this little beauty and its attractive perch, very sharp with excellent detail. Even though flash was used, the light has a soft quality, perfect for this subject. Did you soften the flash somehow?

Thanks,
John

The sharpness and POV are perfect with nice color contrast, existing within the picture. The picture has superb focusing and the clarity is exceptionally well done.
Very well done composition!
