What a fantastic perch this Skipper has chosen, Ulla!
I find the name 'clock' for this Goatsbeard interesting.
The Skipper and the clock make a wonderful composition.
The image is excellent in every respect.
Thanks and regards,
Ram

Hi,
Both (skipper/goatsbeard) are vying for attention here and you have won. Excellent image, very contrasting one. Fine soft lighting has helped the image looks very pleasing. tfs.

This one has a tickly feeling to it...It gives me goosebumps looking at it..seriously...I wonder how the autonomic nervous system works like this in some people...I also experience feelings in shots taken from height and precarious positions..

Hola Sra. Ulla.
Ud. tiene una foto muy hermosa aqui. Muy artistica y con mucho merito, pues la Palomilla luce exelentemente en esta fina flor, y le da un valor agregado a esta imagen.
La nota es muy buena y agradable.
Saludos

Hi Ulla. This is somthing a bit different. As you say a unusual place for the Large Skpper to land i suppose it made a soft bed. You have taken Both the flower head and the butterfly with fine detail and your use of the light has given bright colours. Well done TFS.

Hi Ulla,
Very elegant composition, but what on earth was a Skipper doing on that seed head? Not drinking, that's for sure. By way of nomenclature, I think sylvanus is now considered an invalid homonym of venatus, even though the French colloquial name is 'le Sylvain'. Thanks for a delightful image.

Hi Ulla,

This is an amazing sight! How fantastic to see this Skipper on the seed clock. The colors, shadings and textures of the Goatsbeard are wonderful. The butterfly is lovely - nice and sharp and beautiful colors. This is so unique and so well done that it is a very special shot.

Unless it is to create this fine photo opportunity...
Impressive sharpness in all details, well framed with lovely colours!

Hi Ulla,
such a beautiful composition. The sharpness of the skipper and the beard is so wonderful. Well seen in its shines and pattern.
Lovely contrast of the brown and silky subject.
A nicely presented view of the subjects.

Dear Ulla,
This is a very interesting photo of a Dandelion, proving the old saying "Nature got there first"

Distribution is essential to the continuance of plant species, and nowhere has evolution shown more ingenuity.

Dandelion parachutes provide more subtle services than a random distribution of seed. The plant has an in-built barometer, ensuring seeds are released on a dry, warm day - and on a steady rather than gusting breeze, so that they will be scattered as far as possible. (Like the chutes of paratroops, designed to deliver their burdens gently and in upright stance.)


Your presentation is special, because you show a full head with the seeds ready to go when condition is right..

The pastel background emphasises the lightnes of the seeds and good focus and control of depth of field show all details.

Have a nice week-end
Best Wishes
Ingrid
