Hello Radomir,
Very appropriate, funny note and fine capture of these two Poplar hawk Moths in the 'lotus position'.
Fine sharpness, colour and comp.
Now I know what the subject of your Ph D thesis is!
TFS and best wishes, Ivan

HI Radomir,
Have you cut the moths from paper and painted them? I cant beleive my eyes. What a capture. Nice details and colors of moths.Well composed shot. Surely the male had to do lots of acrobatic actions for the......:D

Hello Radomir,
a fine capture. This could also be posted in an artistic photo site. The symmetry is great (but not totally ;-))
I had never seen this species before. Thanks for sharing this one, JAcob

Hello Radomir,
this is really impressive! The geometry is fascinating. You captured a couple of two 'fresh' specimens, both in a perfect state.
Very well focused and sharp picture of the couple.
Best wishes, Peter

Hi Radomir

What a terrific shot!
At first, i thought it was some mirror effect :))
But actually it's a great macro work!
The colors and pattern on the wings here are amazing and the DOF is superb, blurring the BG nicely.
I must also remark the exceptional flash work here...it's practically invisible, but does wonders to the colors.
Splendid catch!

Bravo and TFS

What an amazing capture, Radomir.
The shapes are so perfectly symmetrical.
The markings and colors on those insects are just gorgeous.
The color contrast against the deep green leaves is stunning.
TFS. : )

Czesc Radek!

To jakas sugestia z ta dzisiejsza data i zdjeciem ;-))) ? Swietne foto, nie ma co! Zazdroszcze. Zrobienie zdjecia jednej to juz bylby dla mnie sukces, ale takie 'combo geometryczne' to juz mistrzostwo!

Very interesting.
Lot of humor in your note.

I've seen other posting of hanging insects during the love action (sometimes from one leg only). But those were not butterflies.

Very interesting to see those strange positions.

Hello Radomir,
this is a stunning picture - well chosen for the day, but more than that, it is very creative in its ornamental of way reduction with two rectangular axis of symmetry. The rather flat appearance of the image that is caused by the use of fill flash further enhances that very ornamental look.
Unusual also is the great demonstration of mating behaviour.
One of them decides to be the active one, the other one lets things happen. Even in flight of most species I have noticed that behaviour, and that behaviour seems to have been well inforced by evolution - like they say in Argentinia for the right way to dance the Tango: Man must lead, woman must follow. Well, ladies and gentlemen: Outside of Argentinia, it's the other way round, as we can very well see here.
With thanks, and best regards,
Peter

This is a very nice shot.
The composition is outstanding and the colours very nice, it is a great find and you have mannaged a very nice photo.
Lights and contrast depends a lot in personal tastes and monitor configuration, but I think a bit more contrast would be nicer. This time it looks as if you used automatic levels and find it a bit dull, I dared a workshop, hipe you dont mind.
BEst regards, Felipe.

Radomir,
Just now I've found this shot and it becomes my favorite because of so perfect 'dyad symmentry'! :) I guess you have several 'derivatives' of this pictures where you played with contrast, saturation etc, isn't it?!
