Hallo Ivan
This butterfly is richly blessed with lots of beautiful fluffy hair. You have captured it with great detail and care. It is a very pleasing image with lots of detail to appreciate. The detail of the antenna is well seen and displays well against the neutral green background. To me it is always interesting to see the difference between the inner and outer wing and your image shows the variation well. I must admit that the colours of the flower caught my eye, as it is very pleasing. The silvery colour in between the pink is very attractive and pleasant to look at. I also like the blurred flower in the backdrop, creating only a pinkish blotch in the background.
Thanks for sharing.
Friendly regards
Anna

Hello Ivan !
Maybe you didn't manage to get an in-flight shot, but this one is splendid as well ! I love all the details on the butterfly, the composition, with butterfly and flower stading out on the completely blurred BG, and what I like even more are the lovely and tender colors of this picture. It's really beautiful. Very well done !
Valerie.

Hi Ivan,

to accompany an excellent picture with an outstanding note is still a rarity on TN, but you set a good example here. It occurs to me too to brood over the things I take pictures from. And you came up with this interesting thought about "why the hind wing has hairs and the forewing not". It comes from a person that looks closely and has the curiosity of the scientist. I really enjoyed this one, Ivan.

Best regards

The lower wing of this butterfly is really hairy, Ivan.
In contrast, the upper one is smooth and very colourful with that charming eye-spot.
Common Thrift is a beautiful flower and adds to the appeal of this lovely composition.

Hi Ivan
Lovely shot, well exposed with natural and subtle colours. Small Heaths are easily overlooked compared to the bold colours of say a Peacock - but they have their own beauty.
Kind Regards
Vinny

Well framed and sharp details and beautiful wings markings as well. Excellent photo to share in TN and very well written notes too. Truly gorgeous and TFS.

Hello Ivan,

You have shown this butterfly in such a delicate light. Colors are so nice as there is nothing striking. The colors of the forwings match nicely with the gray of the backwings. The sharply shown insect stays very nice against the blurry background.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

Hi Ivan,

This is soooooooo beautiful. You have captured the Small Heath in all her glory. The views of both sides of the wings are wonderful. Beautiful orange on one, and marvelous furry textures on the other. Lovely pose on the pretty flower. Background and composition are magnificent.

Hello Ivan,
A beautiful and fine picture going with an excellent note. I enjoyed reading your observations on the hair scales, I think it's the way we should " aller à la rencontre de la nature". I never have seen the Small Heath with open wings too. It is common on my mountain meadow.
Very interesting posting
Bonne soirée

Hello Ivan
good hand of lights and shadows between the butterfly and the little flowers. It is still appraised more for the optimal soft background and the great focusing with very interesting details on the wings.
