Bonjour Peter
Splendide image, très précise et bien cadrée. Les couleurs sont parfaitement équilibrées, y compris les taches blanches qui ne paraissent pas brulées. Cette espèce est magnifique, tu as eu de la chance de la croiser.
Amicalement....JP

Hallo Peter
It is great to see a posting from you after such a looooooooong time of absence from the site, and what a beauty this White Peacock is. The details and colours of the markings is such a delight to look at and admire, the centralized composition just right, background tops. What more can one say? It was a pleasure to look at a master’s work after such a long time. You made my day with this delightful, soft coloured butterfly posting. Thanks for sharing. Best regards.

Hi Peter,
lovely capture of this butterfly. Nicely presented in such a splendid sharpness.
The glows and the shine from the special light makes this composition of your extra brilliance.

Hello Peter,
A superb capture of a nice fresh specimen of A. jatrophae taken up to your usual high standards both technically and esthetically. You made good use of the relatively low lighting.
I have seen this species in Trinidad, where it is known as the Bisquit and I took a poor shot of it long before digital photography.
So it is extra nice to view this!
Thanks and kind regards,
Ivan

Lieber Peter,
Wie Du es versprochen hast, ein neues Bild aus Kuba! Una mariposa muy linda! Dieser Schmetterling mit seiner subtilen Farbgebung scheint nach Deiner Beschreibung nicht selten zu sein. Welch ein Anblick muss das sein, sie rumfliegen zu sehen! Wir gehen wahrscheinlich im August nach Argentinien, werde ihn also auch möglicherweise sehen :-)
Ein typisches Stoeckl-Bild, erkennt man von weitem!
Herzlich grüsst
Anne

Hello Peter,

I just photographied this species last year during my holidays in Dominican Republic. My picture is not as good as yours (and far of approaching it). You can see it here:
http://parcours.pilonm.org/cgi-bin/afficheInsecte.pl?anartiaJatrophae=1=1

I'm really happy to see its wonderful colors on your pic. Even if the bg is a little bit cubbersome, the butterfly has sufficient presence to help us forget it.

Exposition is so well mastered!!!! I read that the males defends a little territory where the host plants for the caterpillar reside. So it protects also the food for the youngs!!!

TFS my friend and have a good day!

Michel

Hi, Peter.
Simply splendid individual of the species. Fantastic exactness of reproduction of all features of the butterfly and surroundings. Texture, colouration, shapes are reflected superbly. Composition as well as POV are spot on too. Bravo. Great job.

Hallo Peter,
das ist ein wunderschöner Schmetterling, die Flügel schimmern silbern, das ist toll.
Die Bildschärfe ist excellent und die Farben brilliant.
Ein eindrucksvoller Moment, so eine Schönheit so nahe in freier Natur vor sich zu haben ...
Danke und liebe Grüße

Lieber Peter,
es ist ein Genuss, bei Dir auf TN hereinzuschauen, wie immer (nur dass Du während längerer Zeit inaktiv warst). Nun, ich war es auch seit Ende März. Der "Weisse Pfau" hat es mir angetan, dieses Perlmutterschimmern ist unglaublich. Interessant und lobenswert, dass Du Deine Notiz auch auf spanisch machst :-).
Mit besten Grüssen Dieter
