Good morning Ivan,
a nice setting and well composed picture to show this small 'jewel'.
I always saw this species as single specimens and very localized.
Some days ago 'acassidy' also posted a picture of w-album.
Best wishes, Peter

Hallo Ivan
I love the shine you caught on this butterfly’s hairy part of the body, as it displays a variation of metallic colours which is rather beautiful. The details of the eye, striped paws and the antennas with its orange tips are clear and well seen. The clarity is good. The contrast between the green leave and the neutral range of colours of the butterfly is a great match. Thanks for sharing. Best regards.

Hello Ivan,
This is a very good shot in difficult light, with part shadow on the wings. Very sharp and 'alive' with the butterfly almost full face. I like it a lot. Regards

Hi Ivan. You must have asteady hand to take this fine picture with the 300mm + 1.4 converter. It has given you a first class close up with good detail and sharp focusing. I like the POV looking straight at the face so we can see the large eyes. All taken with natural colours. well done TFS.

Hi Ivan,

Both views of this rarely seen on TN butterfly are wonderful, but I agree that this is the more appealing. It's the position of the head that does it for me. This White-letter Hairstreak is very beautiful and of course you show it in fine details and lovely colors. I love the white rings around the eyes.

Hola Sr. Ivan.
Todas las fotos logradas con ese extraordinario lente son una belleza para la vista. Esta en particular le da alta nitidez y un fondo difuso que le hace lucir aun mas bella.
Exelente nota escrita Sr. Ivan. Siempre se aprende algo nuevo al leer.
Saludos

Hej Ivan,

Excellent details, the focus is well placed!
The blurry greenery works well as background, and the shape of the leaf adds a fine dimension in composition...
The DoF isolates and enhances the insect nicely, eyes and antennas stand out so well!

Hello Ivan !
I have missed this picture when you posted it, a pity, but I see it now - and I love it. It'zs really a wonderful species of butterfly, and you have captured it so nicely, with excellent details and sharpness, from a great POV, with natural colors, and the composition as well as the blurred BG are excellent too. I also like the WS shot just as much as this one, even if you say it is less attractive. Very well done !
