Guten Morgen und Namaste, Peter!
It is a great pleasure to see your fresh picture after a fairly long gap of time.
The butterfly and the beetle lounging together on the shiny Oak leaves are beautifully captured as usual.
Though the antlers of the Stag Beetle look threatening by virtue of their size, your note sets all the fears at rest. The butterfly is quite safe in its company.
Your notes are always a great experience to go through. They are first hand and original and give a clear impression that it is a scholar at work here.
Here in Delhi, we are getting roasted in the heat almost literally. No monsoons so far and the prospects seem bleak.
Warm regards,
Ram

Hello Peter,
What an amazing capture!
To be able to photograph either ilia or the Stag beetle seperately are achievements but to have them both on the same picture would for me be a once-in-lifetime experience.
The good use of your compact camera show both species with excellent sharpness and great POV as they stand out so well against the oak leaves. WOW!!!
This has to be a favourite.
I see you have a lot of unsettled weather but there is sun too. We are having a drought here in Sweden.
Thanks and best regards,
Ivan

Hi Peter, dear friend.
What a fantastic subject and quality of the shot. All pictured objects are reflected with ultimate exactness and beautifulness: charming butterfly, amazing beetle and so wonderful leaves. Colours are awesome and solar patches of light on the leaf surface are sweet. Bravo. You simply must share your unique pictures here.
Yours Alexei.

Hi Peter
Great shot, fantastic moment. Sharppness and POV is great. I must say that for me it is also funny - butterfly and beetle on one photo - please take a look on my last photo. It is also a couple but the size is completely different ;-)
Best wishes

Lieber Peter,
Sehr glücklich wieder mal ein Bild von Dir zu sehen! Du hattest viel Glück und gute Augen um diese Szene zu sehen. Welch eine Begegnung mit diesen zwei Kreaturen, die die wenigsten von uns zu Auge bekommen. Beide Bilder gefallen mir sehr gut, das "face to face" ist auch sehr eindrücklich. Wie immer beste Qualität und ein seltenes Sujet dazu. Gratuliere!
In der Hoffnung wieder mehr Bilder von Dir zu sehen...herzliche Grüsse und einen schönen Sonntag
Anne

Lieber Peter

Ich bin von Deiner Aufnahme fasziniert. Zum einen ist das Sujet wunderbar. Die beiden Insekten zusammen auf einem Bild ist herrlich, und zudem sind sie so scharf und mit ausgezeichneter Tiefenschärfe abgebildet. Zum anderen besticht Dein Bild durch das hervorragende Farbmanagement und die Klarheit.

Ein wunderbares Bild!

Liebe Grüsse

Markus

I was wondering what made Peter choose this composition :-) when i saw the tumbnail, but i was wrong when i looked at the bigger picture, you have a Stag beetle there. Good picture Peter and its nice to see you around here

I'm sorry I'm late for this terrific masterpiece!! How fantastic to get both of these wonderful species in one shot! Both are sharply in focus and details are most impressive. Lovely colours too and a very fine composition. Definitely a favourite of mine!
