Hello Peter,

Very impressive and beautiful macro capture of the Titania's Fritillary!
The details are grea with nice control on keeping crisp sharpness and taken from a well chosen POV. The shallow DOF works very well here. I like the natural colors of the butterfly and the eyes and antennae are very well detailed and shown. The contrast between the butterfly's dark colors and the light green blurred BG, is superb.
Great composition!

thanks and regards,
Paras Bhalla

Hello Peter,
wonderful dedication to our friend Anne (anel); another fantastic picture of the Boloria titania taken from an excellent POV in a wonderful pose on a Dactylorhiza maculata, superb sharpness with impressive details of the interesting peculiarities of this small butterfly, marvellous colours very well saturated, a very pleasing composition, i also like very much the picture in WS showing very well the habitat; i add this one to my favourite pictures.

Lieber Peter,
Eine dreifache Ueberraschung heute! Ein schönes Bild von Dir, meine gute Bekannte Titania und Deine so liebenswürdige Widmung. Das ist ja wahrlich Sonnenschein an diesem trüben Tag. Hab herzlichen Dank!
Was das Bild betrifft, ist es farblich etwas ganz besonders, da B.titania sich auf das lila Knabenkraut niedergelassen hat. Interessant für mich dies zu sehen. Auf meiner Wiese gibt es eben dieses Knabenkraut auch, habe allerdings Titania nie darauf gesehen.
Ein ganz spezielles Bild!
Nochmals herzlichen Dank und einen schönen Abend
Herzlich grüsst
Anne

Hello Peter,
A superb capture of B. titania. You showed this fresh specimen with its wings closed at its best with great sharpness and colours and the composition as it rests on the Orchis flowers is a joy to see! The BG is the most suitable. This makes a very nice dedication to our friend Anne who we hope has fully recovered from her illness.
Thanks and my best regards to you,
Ivan

Lieber Peter,

eine doppelte Überraschung für mich ist der spektakuläre Perlmutterfalter und sein Besuch einer Täusch- Orchidee. Schon Charles Darwin hat ja gemerkt, dass die Blüten von D. maculata keinen Nektar liefern, und sich darüber sehr gewundert.

Deine neue Kamera scheint Dir in allen technischen Belangen entgegenzukommen. Deine ausführliche Dokumentation zu jeder Foto schätze ich sehr und ich stelle fest, dass ich selber auch mehr bei der Dokumentation leisten sollte.

Mit herzlichem Gruss
Dieter

Hallo Peter,
klasse Macro von diesem farbenfrohen Schmetterling und der Orchidee. Der Natterwurz-Perlmutterfalter war mir bevor ich ihn bei Anne gesehen habe vollkommen unbekannt und die Orchidee ist mir auch neu. Der Schmetterling in deiner Aufnahme ist perfekt fokussiert und offenbart herrliche Details vom Kopf (hier gefällt mir besonders der aufgerollte Saugrüssel) und den Flügelunterseiten. Pose, Farben und der Kontrast zum verschwommenen Hintergrund sind ebenfall sehr gut.
Viele Grüsse,
Helmut

Hello Peter
è sempre un piacere scoprire tue nuove foto soprattutto per il modo in cui sai interpretare e descrivere l'ambiente alpino che negli ultimi anni ho avuto la possibilità di visitare. Questa Titania è incredibilmente ben ritratta in una cornice in cui tutto è ottimamente bilanciato, dai colori alla luce, dalla cura dei dettagli alla messa a fuoco che più di tutto riesce a farci apprezzare il fascino di questa piccola farfalla. Le sfumature delle sue ali sono bellissime come anche quelle degli splendidi fiori su cui è posata ottenendo un gran contrasto per le differenti tonalità. Un gran bel lavoro. (in italian to express myself in the better way)

I've said this in the past, Peter, I think your shots stand out for their perfect technicalities, but more for the timing!
Bravo!

Hello Peter,
this is a very good picture with decent DOF, the subject
is well in focus and the BG in nice OOF so the butterfly stabd out nicely. Good sharpness with fine details. The exposure and clours are excellent.
Well done, mf

Hi, my dear friend Peter.
I am very touched with your visit and kind comments. Unfortunately, I also am so busy and cannot take active (now any) participation at TN life. I think such situation will continue whole year or more. However, I wish to you and your family all the best in New 2010 Year as well as more free time for photography and TN.

Simply fantastic by subject and quality shot. Both flowers and butterfly are of exceptional beautifulness. Superb DOF and details of the main subject. Sharpness is ultimate. Colours of the shot are sweet too. I also like fine BG and square cropping. Bravo. Once more masterpiece from you. Thanks a lot.
Alexei.
