Guten Abend Peter,
dispar konnte ich in natura leider noch nicht beobachten. Deshalb besonderen Dank zumindest für das wunderschöne Bild, das die leuchtenden Farben und die elegante Zeichnung der Flügelunterseiten besonders zum Ausdruck bringt.
Einen schönen Abend wünscht
Peter

Hi, dear Peter.
I like the POV best of all. Excellent view is opening from selected point. Wonderful decoration of the butterfly and fine leaf appear in front of us at full their beauty. Blurred rich green BG humanizes witn colour palette of the main subject perfectly. Lighting, as usual for your works, is unusual and so impressive. Amazing 3D-image of the cute insect at wonderful surroundings by great master. Superb combination. Bravo and warm wishes.

Hi Peter,
er macht seinem Namen alle Ehre - leuchtend wie Feuer, wunderschön.
Bislang konnte ich noch nirgendwo in Erfahrung bringen, weshalb so viele Schmetterlinge diese gestreiften Fühler haben. Weißt Du das?
Vielen Dank für diese Schönheit, Gruß, servus

Hi Peter,
You can't stop to amaze me with your ability to crete such artitstic shots.
It's so good the POV and the bright colours got on the insect, specially the bright orange at the top.
Details on the head are so sharp and clear. The DOF worked great with that blurred background.
My compliments and thanks for share it.
Best regards,
JM

Hello Peter,
I have never seen this species myself and would dearly love to photograph it. In the meantime this great shot of the Large Copper is a good compenstation. The POV and pose allows us to see most of the wing surface appearance, both the upper and undersides. The sharpness and DOF are excellent, considering the restriced light availabilty and the composition is of course excellent.
Thanks for sharing this one and enjoy the rest of your Sunday,
Ivan

Another great butterfly...

That is an excellent shot. Such beautiful shades of colors. Nice sharp detail. A perfectly controled DOF with the tight crop looks great here.
Superb camera work!

It is a pleasure to look at this beautiful specimen of the fast vanishing species of butterflies, Peter.
The three wing segments in view create a lovely symphony of colours and shapes.
Overall, one of the finest butterfly pictures I have seen on TN.
Thanks for sharing it and best regards.

Hi Peter!
It was long ago I was last time in your gallery :)
This is another very nice for watching picture and perfect technicaly photo. Lovely colours and composition (I like this "living on the edge pose of butterfly), very good sharpness and saturation. Note is as always informative and I found a lot of interesting details about ecology and biology of this species.
TFS and best regards,

Hello Peter,
Gorgeous portrait in vivid colours. I like lycaenids a lot - they are perfect object to photograph, by the way the are look and behave. You shot it in a very natural pose showing all details of the underwing, and the colouration of the upper side at the same time. Very nice composition and technique too.
Best greetings and TFS!

Hello Peter,
Lovely close capture of the Large Copper in a fine composition. Great sharpness and fine colours. Together with the blue butterflies the Large Copper really represent the height of summer to me. Not much colour left now, apart from the autumn leaves!

Hi Peter and sorry for the delay

This is another splendid macro shot from you, my friend and a good news: that this superb species this has some good refugees around Europe. :)
I really like teh close-up level here as well as the magnificent details you present it with - they are so clear and sharp!
The colors are also wonderful and very well saturated and the DOF is very good - keeping the subject in good focus while blurring the BG so well.
All-in-all: a terrific job!

Bravo and TFS

Hallo Peter,
ich habe schon lange nicht mehr bei Dir hineingeschaut, obwohl Du die wunderschönen Schmetterlingsbilder produzierst. Hier ist wieder alles perfekt: Schärfe, das tolle Licht, die interessante Spezies im "Abflugmodus". Danke fürs Herzeigen!
Herzlich grüsst Dieter

Hello Peter,

Ein ausgezeichnetes macro Foto des Grossen Feuerfalters. Ich bin noch immer von der Schaerfentiefe deiner Bilder beeindruckt und Du weisst genau wie man diesen Vorteil voellig ausnutzen kann!

Zusammensetzung:

Die ausgezeichnete Kompositon ist von den lebhaften Farben hervorgehoben. Der Falter scheint wie eine Flamme auf dem gruenen Hintergrund! Der freie Raum wurde richtig ausgeteilt und das Motiv wurde in einen der staerksten Punkten gestellt. Der Rand des Blattes wirkt als Leitfaden und fuehrt meinen Blick zu dem Schmetterling!

Farben und Kontrast:

Die leuchtenden Farben des Falters sind sehr auffaellig und sehen wunderbar im von hinter scheinendem Sonnenlicht aus! Der Kontrast wurde perfekt eingestellt um die schoenen und scharfen Einzelheiten zu foerdern.

Beleuchtung:

Wie gewoehnlich hast Du das Licht durch die Fluegel des Schmetterlings leuchten lassen. Dieser Effect wirkt sich besonders gut auf Schmetterlingen und Blueten aus. Die Details wurden sehr gut konserviert!

Scharfeinstellung:

Die perfekte Wiedergabe der Einzelheiten weist auf eine genaue Scharfeinstellung des Objektivs hin. Wie schon oben erwaehnt, die Schaerfentiefe wurde sehr gut kontrolliert um den groessten Teil des Falters Scharf zu behalten waerend der Hintergrund noch ganz unscharf bleibt.

Eine sehr gute Aufnahme mit ausgezeichneten notes! Herzlichen Dank!

Mit Besten Gruessen,
Eddie

Simply stunning in every aspect! I especially like the way you have captured the lighting through the wings and the finest of textures in this wonderful little creature. It is beautifully sharp, truly an inspiration.
