Merhaba Seyfi,
Bir diğer ilginç makro.
Nice başarı, tebrikler.
İyi tatiller,
Adrian

Hallo Seyfi
How beautiful is this butterfly to look at. The colour and patterns of the different sides of the wings are extraordinary, and one cannot think it is the same butterfly. The bright orange with its black lining is very eye-catching and display beautifully against the green background. The flower the butterfly is resting one is just as lovely and you have captured the finer details with great clarity. The contrast of the white and cream flower with the orange and brown of the butterfly is really great. A sharp image with pleasant details. Thanks for sharing. Best regards.
Anna

Seyfi,
Wonderful capture today. Sharp, clear, great composition.
Congratulation!

salut Seyfi
très belle image colorée, elle est particulière dans les zones contratées ce qui lui donne un caractère fort.
Excellente maîtrise.

Hello Seyfi,
a beautiful capture of Lycaena virgaureae, good sharpness and splendid colours, i like this composition with a very good contrast of the colour tones.

Hi Seyfi,
Very good composition and colours, although taken in very difficult lighting. The butterfly would be impproved by a londer exposure. It is a bit dark as it is. Yet the white flowers would be over-exposed if the image were brighter. This kind of issue, strong contrast, can be a real problem, although one option is to use some fill-in flash to put more light evenly over both parts of the subject matter. Thanks anyway for a great subject.

Merhaba Seyfi,

Hi Seyfi,

Marvellous shot of a red beauty! The details are just perfect and so are sharpness and POV. The eyes of the butterfly are beautifully shown. I like the blurred BG. In addition, the white flowers enhances the beauty of the picture. Great composition in all.

Hello Seyfi
bellissimo scatto su questa piccola Lycaena virgaureae di cui sei riuscito a mettere ottimamente in risalto sia i dettagli che i bellissimi colori lucenti delle sue ali. Ottima la profondità di campo che valorizza molto la presenza dei fiori bianchi in primo piano.
Livio

Hi Seyfi,

Good pov, dof and bg.

Hello Seyfi,
It's nice to see that the same species I've seen in my country are also present in your country ;-)
Nice shot although I think the picture is a little bit too dark.

Hi Seyfi,

The flowers are framing well the butterfly. The macro view is showing the details and colors of the Scarce Cooper butterfly working on the flower. The insect is clear and precise. The luminosity has a good effect on the colors. Have a nice day.
