Vey nice! Good quality, good colour and POV.

Ach wie wunderschön.
Auch unsere Natur in Deutschland hat farbenprächtige Schmetterlinge zu bieten, da hast Du einen tollen "Fuchs" ablichten können.
Vor kurzem hat mich ein Freund gefragt, ob die Fühler wirklich so sind oder ich meine Phantasie am PC habe spielen lassen, hahaha, wer käme wohl darauf, einem Schmetterling geringelte Fühler zu basteln - außer Mutter Natur, eine tolle Idee, findest Du nicht auch, Heinz. Du siehst, ich brauche nichts über gute Schärfe zu schreiben wenn man die Fühler so klar erkennen kann, erübrigt sich das sicherlich. Viele liebe Grüße

Hi Heinz,
beautiful tortoiseshell, good composition and colours. B-fly very popular in our country, too. Well done.
Rgs, Aleksander

Hi Heinz,
It's a beautiful butterfly you have caught.
Well composed, good POV and lovely colours.
IMO the DOF is a bit shallow, good details on the body and the right wing.
Very well done.
