Lieber Peter,
Was man da nicht alles unternimmt, um die Schönheit eines Pfiffolters (Walliserdeutsch) einzufangen! Origineller Blickpunkt, im Hintergrund die schöne blau-grüne Farbe des Abgrunds! Schöne sich gerade entfaltende Flockenblume. Das Bild gefällt mir sehr.
Herzliche Grüsse und ein ruhiges Wochenende

Hello Peter,
Ivan and I were just talking about this beautiful butterfly that we hope to look for this summer along the Baltic coast where it's still found in a few places. It is such a lovely butterfly and I love its gliding flight! This is a lovely capture showing the beautiful semi-transparent wings and the lovely red eyes. It looks good on the flower and against the dark background too. Well done!
Many thanks and cheers, Ulla

Hello Peter,

Must be very nice to be able meeting this rare butterfly. You have made good use of this meeting taking a very fine photo. POV is very special and image is sharp. Morover the background looks very well and enhaces the characteristic transparency of buterfly's wings.

Congratulations,
Cristian

Hi Peter!

Truly fantastic capture! One of species from my dreamlist. Perfect POV with well wisible markings on wings, great colours and details. And first of all breathtaking subject. They said it lives in Soutern regions of Poland, but I've never seen it.

Hello Peter,

Fine pov of this low angle shot against the back lighting making the wings so well exposed showing fine markings on the wings. Brilliant sharp details against the well muted background. The flower itself is stunning with light slicing on its fragile petals. Well framed and TFS.

Best regards,
Jusni

Hi Peter
Apollo always looks great. I have seen this species only one time in Montenegro. Nice blured background (but with little noise), unusual POV and quite good sharpness
Best wishes
