Bonne journée.

Hello Anne,
A great capture of the Mallow Skipper, a species I would love to see before I get too old. Even though this individual is rather worn, you caught it in a fine pose and from a POV that shows it up well against an OOF natural BG.
Thanks for sharing this one,
Regards,
Ivan

Bonsoir Anne,

Très bonne capture de ce petit papillon. Excellent angle de vue. Très bonne netteté. Superbes couleurs. J'aime beaucoup les dessins sur ses ailes et les couleurs fondues.
Bonne soirée,
Mariki

Schöne Grüße, Peter

Hi Anne

Lovely shot of this skipper - very good pose and detail.

James

Good camera and sharp lens...very clear focus and natural colours. Depth of field is perfect...what more could a gal ask for? :-) super nice Anne. BTW I wonder at the image on your bio..it makes it appear as though you are at a counter of some sort..

Bonsoir Anne,
very good macro captured of the Mallow Skipper, great composition. The cold weather had made that species survive with his/her wool jacket. It's different with the warm weather butterflies, they can wear a colorful thin clothes, not a thick wool one, otherwise they will be sweating. Same with us. :))
Praise to Allah The Greatest, The Creator.
TFS, best regards from Indonesia

Salut Anne,
Honnêtement, je suis très emotionat comme écrire ce message en particulier parce que mon français n'est pas aussi bonne que je veux être. Merci pour tout ce que celui apreciezi photo de moi.
Une autre raison de la emotionat est que, après ce que vous dit que votre fils et nous avons pensé tout pour Julian encore une raison d'être fiers emotionat et en même temps.
Merci.
Cordialement,
Iulian

Liebe Anne,
gerade soeben habe ich in Aufnahmen des letzten Sommers diesen so merkwürdig grau gemusterten Würfelfalter gefunden, unde jetzt finde ich ihn hier so treffend von Dir aus diesem Jahr präsentiert. Schöner Zufall! Dieser Falter kann im Hochsommer auf trockener Vegaetation fast völlig in Tarnung verschwinden.
Mit Dank und herzlichen Grüßen,
Peter

Hi Anne, splendid skipper with fine details and superb sharpness, perfect focus and lovely blurry BG,, very well done, have a good week end, ciao Silvi

Salut Anne
Très belle macro, excellente couleurs et netteté, belle lumière naturelle, très beau sujet, l'image et cependant un peu bruité.
Voilà près de 4 semaines que les WE sont pourris impossible chez moi de faire de la macro, heureusement j'ai les archives...
Amicalement Robi
