Hi Krzysztof.

Nice shot with good sharpness and POV.Maybe it would be better if you cropped it from the bottom and top a little bit.

Well Done & TFS.

Hi,
The butterfly is a real painting.
Good sharpness and compo. Personally I would have cropped a little more 'cause doing so would focus a little more one's attention to the butterfly.

Bonita macro imagen Krzysztof, por su composición (aunque la mariposa se encuentra algo centrada verticalmente), su nitidez y colores, con adecuado control de la iluminación.
El escaso DOF permite un apropiado foco sobre el insecto y su percha y además un fondo difuso para resaltar la silueta de la mariposa.
Bien hecho.
Saludos... Ricardo

Nice macro image Krzysztof, for their composition (although the butterfly is something centered vertically), by sharpness and colors, with adequate control of the lighting.
Scarce DOF allows an appropriate focus on the insect and its hanger and also a diffuse bottom to stand out the silhouette of the butterfly.
Well done.
Greetings... Ricardo

Hej Krzysiek!
Taki szarawy motylek, a pokazales go bardzo przyjemnie dla oka. Ostry i na tym rzepie ladnie wyglada. Szkoda jedynie, ze tlo nie jest bardziej jednolite.
Gratuluje i pozdrawiam - Roma

I realy like the light here in this picture. Also very good sharpness and composition.
TFS Harm

Wow!
Naprawdę piekne zdjęcie! Doskonała jakość i ostrość.
Z przyjemnością bym zamieścił na stronie ;-D

Hi Krzysztof,
well captured picture of B. circe. The dark background works well here to isolate these well camouflaged wings.
Have seen this large and conspicuous grayling quite often on grassy hills in the Vienna Woods last summer. They always sit down in the grass, on the ground, on rocks, but never ever I've seen one of that species sitting on a flower, sucking nectar. So this document is quite unique for me.
With thanks, and best regards,
Peter

very nice butterfly shot..good light,and sharpness.But you should not put the main object in the middle,i think...congrats.best regards

Bien captada a pesar de la dificultad de la toma por la potente luz y esos complicados colores y dibujos de la Brintesia.
Saludos Krzysztof.
