Hallo Ivan
You surely know how to warm a person’s heart on a cold winter’s day – It is a beautiful butterfly and the warm colours and patterns are just gorgeous. The blotches of yellow-orange on the wings remind me of a cosy fire place. Thanks for sharing. Best regards.

Hi Ivan!

Very interesting capture of small Sotnätfjäril. I've never seen this specie and even any member of subfamily of Melitaeinae. Both wings are sharp, DOF is great. Insect in this pose presents all its beauty. BG is ok, same as light. Good workshop also - both pictures are interesting and taken very well.

Good morning Ivan,

She is a real dark lady this one, and I love the velvety texture of the body and wings. Beautifully presented photo, with perfect sharpness on the butterfly and nettle? leaf, from where she has just metamorphosed maybe. The BG makes a really effective backdrop for this photo.

Hello Ivan,
beautiful indeed! The spots around the wings are very attractive and special for this butterfly.Such an intense colours and richly produced in natural view. The green background complemtat its beauty.
The details are splendid, especially the antenna which gives a fine stripes of black and white.
the depth composed is really effective.

Foozi

Bonjour Ivan,
Un posting très intéressant sur ce papillon que je n'ai encore jamais vu. Il ressemble en effet un peu à M. athalia (dans notre région ils sont plus sombres souvent). Intéressant aussi la photo du WS avec un mâle, pour une fois plus pâle que la femelle! Images classiques et bien réalisées.
Meilleures pensées

HI Ivan,
I'm realy a little jealous when I see all the wonderful butterflies you already captured this year. Again we don't have many butterflies here this year, so sad. This one is beautiful, the wings are wide open and the light is very nice.
Thanks, have a nice day

Esos colores más esa fuerte luz creaban unas condiciones difíciles para la captura. Creo que superaste la situación con buena nota jeje.

Me gusta tu estilo ya qye se nota que fotografías "al natural", con poca manipulación de la toma y del escenario.

Un abrazo: Josep Ignasi.

Hi Ivan.
I also have not met this species in our countryside. You have presented it hear with WS perfectly. Both shots are composed greatly and their diagonal structure are very impressive. Details of the butterflies are perfectly as well as reproduction of their colourations and shapes. TFS and all the best. Have a nice weekend.
Alexei.

Bonjour Ivan,
Elle est très belle cette Melitaea, mais en France, il faut prendre de l'altitude pour la rencontrer. Elle ne doit pas aimer la chaleur...
Merci pour cette pose très réussie
Amicalement
