Hi Peter
Today a special post. I have seen this species only one time. Great shot. Good sharpness, natural colors, great blured background. It look like from a field guide
I like it very much

Hello Peter,
A fine sharp capture of a male Colias palaeno with a little bit missing on the edge of the forewing, which provides a small window to see a small part of the upper surface that it only shows in flight. The lighting, partially shining through the forewings, is great and the grey Bg makes a fine contrast. You were skillful to come so close: I find this species difficult to approach even with my long lens!
In Sweden it is still found where there are boglands but it has become less common during recent years. I am surprised that it can occur at over 2000m in the Alps.
Thanks for sharing this beauty,
Have a good weekend,
Ivan

wonderful details and spot on exposure peter, the black dot in the eye is special. WRT to composition this picture is so "un-peter" like :-), usually your pictures have breathing space, but here the picture is too bold, any reason for this composition?

Lieber Peter,
Wieder eine so reichhaltiges und interessantes Ensemble. Zuerst zum Bild, nebst der sorgfältigen Aufnahme, die uns jedes Detail dieses schönen "Solitaire(s)" zeigt, schätze ich besonders die Fügung von Gelb und Grau, die ich immer als so wirkungsvoll betrachtet habe. Auch sind die rosa Umrandungen eine reizvolle Farbenzugabe. Interessant auch die "urchige" Pflanze auf der der Colias rastet. Das Weibchen mit seinen weissen Flügeln habe ich auch schon auf meiner Wiese fotografiert, allerdings habe ich es beim Absturz des Pc's verloren..
Gefreut hat mich auch das schöne Bild vom Sulztal, an das ich mich glaube zu erinnern.
Herzlichen Dank auch für Deinen Besuch bei Polyommatus damon. Er hat sich gefreut!
Ein schönes Wochenende aus dem veregneten Bern!
Anne
PS Gestern habe ich einen Vortrag von Dieter über seine Velotour von Usbekistan nach China besucht. War wirklich sehr interessant.

Hi Peter. A very good close up from last year. The deatil is spot on as with the sharp focusing. Your use of the light has give bright colours. The side POV let us see the wing markings so well. TFS.

Hallo Peter !
Ich war den ganzen Tag in Deutschland, und jetzt geht's weiter mit dem Deutschie bei dieser Kritik ! :-) Das Bild ist wunderbar, der Schmätterling ist so schön, mir gefällen die Faben auf seine Flügel, und auch alle diese Details. Es ist absolut Perfekt. Und auch noch sehr schön komponiert, mit leuchtende Faben, und einen wunderbare, ganz niedrigen POV. Vielen Dank !
Valérie.

Hi Peter!

Another perfect post! This macro looks great, with high quality and interesting subject, but I must say, that I like more your workshop picture. This landscape is simply breathtaking, I envy you such place to hunt :-) Both workshop pictures, your main picture and note made together superb post.

Hi Peter,
An excellent macro capture of this pretty Colias species with fine composition and and neat details. Today i gone outside to test my new lens (Micro-Nikkor 105 VR) and i encountered with a Large Tortoiseshell on the ground. When i searched the TN i found your shot of the species. i noticed that its shots were uploaded by you and Rimas only. Tomorrow please wait a surprise from me:)
TFS and cheers!

Hello Peter!
I was not in your gallery so long... and now I see that a lot of interesting captures were overlooked by me during this days.

Great, so yellow butterfly! I Poland this species is critically endangered, and like in Germany and Austria placed on the Red List. I had no oportunity to observe it in the wild till now.

Congratulations and best greetings from Lodz!

Lieber Peter!

Es wäre wirklich ein Drama, wenn so ein herrlicher Schmetterling verschwinden sollte. Beiträge wie Deiner sind auch deshalb besonders wertvoll, weil er uns daran erinnert, dass wir Menschen der grösste Feind der Natur sind. Es ist nicht nur ein Genuss, das Bild anzuschauen, sondern auch ein Aufruf an unser Gewissen. Dafür danke ich Dir.

Grüessli

Markus

Hi Peter,

The color of this butterfly is so beautiful with pink trimming around the sides. I like the way you captured it with matching compound eye that is so well focused. Nicely controlled depth in producing this top drawer image.

Thanks for sharing and have a beautiful day.
Best regards,
Jusni

Hola Peter,

Una bonita lección de acercamiento. Lógicamente hay que felicitarte por este fabuloso enfoque A LA CABEZA del insecto, todo un alarde de enfoque, ya que no solemos ver las pilosidades de las mariposas de una manera tan real. El conjunto también lo trabajaste bien.

Saludos desde Turín ( salutations from Torino ), donde estoy pasando unos dias.

Un abrazo: Josep Ignasi

Hi, dear Peter.
Fantastic shot executed at your firm style. POV and composition of the image cannot be better. However, the key point of the picture is brilliant reproduction of the tiniest details of the butterfly. Texture of the wings, hair of the body. Eye, antennas and legs is reflected with great exactness. Especially I like light pattern on the wings. It is very attractive. Simply BG is smoothed perfectly and supplements the image of the beautiful insect very well. Superb photo. My kind wishes and compliments.
Alexei.
P.S. Unfortunately, I am very busy these days and cannot visit TN when I wish.

Lieber Peter,
ich wollte wissen, welche photographischen Standards für Schmetterlings-Makros mit der Cybershot erreicht werden können. Ein Blick auf Deine Sammlung und und ich weiss wieder, dass es nicht nur am Apparat liegt...Einsame Klasse, dieser Colias!

Herzlich grüsst
Dieter
