Pyrgus notaxon (Common/White Checkered-Skipper)
===============================================

I follow with my "week of skippers", this time is one of the "mad and fast" of our region. This small and dishevelled butterfly, is quite hard of focusing. It usually stops for very few seconds and is very sensitive to movements that I can do near her, in special to the rapprochement of the cámera objective. However this seems to have a little bit more tired state, this can observe in the deterioration of his wings; and it allowed me that photographed her with a bit more of facility.

Hi Jesus. From what you say about this Ssipper you have done a fine job. You were able to get a first class POV looking down on the butterfly so you could get sharp focusing on the open wing. Fine detail and rich colours . I like the water droplet. well done TFs.

Hi Jesús,

Another great macro capture of the White Checkered Skipper! The details are perfect with wonderful control on sharpness and POV. The shallow DOF works very well here. I like the natural colors of the skipper and the contrast between teh skipper's light colors and the dark green leaf as a BG. Well done!

thanks and regards,
Paras Bhalla

Hi Jesus,

I know just what you mean by "mad and fast." Good timing to capture this Skipper in a nice pose on the leaf. I don't think I have seen a White Checkered before - the markings are lovely. Excellent colors, details and textures.
