Hello Joe,
Excellent close-up of the Comma butterfly all nicely in focus. This looks a little worn and must be the early form that is lighter in colour on the underside. Great sharpness and fine colours. I like the background colour in your fine composition.
A very nice dedication for Peter!
TFS and cheers, Ulla

Hi Joe!

Nice capture. Good to see comma with wide opened wings. Insect is colorfull, sharp and detailed. Composition with leaves looks good also. There is bonus in BG - small insect on leaf, but I don't know what it is.

Hello my friend, a beautiful butterfly which I don't recall having seen. I like the angle of the pov within the frame, it really gives way to the shape of the wings and the colours are superb. Great work again Joey,

Very nice for Peer Joey. He is quite the fellow and is on my short list if I ever get to Europe...I do have relatives not far from him..
A super image Joey and you know just which image and what time to pick for dedications..It works for me! And I'll bet Peter is surprised.

Hi Joe,

An excellent macro of this well worn but still beautiful butterfly. The diagonal composition is superb. Perfect background to set off the colors of the Comma. Wonderful details of the markings and body. A nice dedication to Peter.

Hello Joe,
Very beautiful capture, with nice saturated colours and background. This comma seems to be a veteran with parts of its wing missing. That's life in the butterfly world! TFS,

Hello Joe,
As I remember, I met this species only single time. It is really very beautiful. But I cant capture it very well unlike yours. Yours great with POV and composition, sharpness and details. Coloration also superb. Thanks for sharing, best wishes

Hola Joe.
Hermosa Macro de esta Mariposa. Las alas abiertas permiten poder obserbar sus helegantes y bellos atributos. La imagen de alta calidad en cuanto a nitidez e iluminacion. El encuadre es ideal para la presentacion, y la nota escrita es de gran valor educativo.
Saludos My young Friend.

Ps.- My next photo is gong to be for You. Ok.

Hello Joe,
A very nice capture of a Comma, a little worn after hibernation. The POV, composition and technical qualities are all first class, which make it a very suitable tribute to Peter who has regaled us with such fine butterfly captures.
TFS this beauty,
Ivan
