Hi Ulla,
Good evening, neighbour... :) Beautiful macro shot of an interesting and nice-looking specie. Great POV and colors - although, pitifully the oof flower hides the insect a bit, and bg is a bit noisy. Otherwise a very nice capture.
Tfs, best regards, László

Hello Ulla,
these green Zygaenidae are difficult for photographers. I think, it is the best to avoid strong sunlight.
However, you nicely reproduced the green metallic coloration. It's a pity that the antennae are slightly out of
depth of field. They have such an interesting structure.
Best wishes, Peter

Felicidades Ulla por este excelente trabajo.
He tenido la suerte de observar este Zygaenidae y se de su dificultad para fotografiarlo, por lo que al ver esta toma me he sorprendido por su gran calidad técnica. Si ya es díficil captar su dorso, más lo son sus antenas y ojos. Resolviste con gran eficacia también la captura del color y sus brillos. Enhorabuena !

Saludos: J. Ignasi.

Hi Ulla,

This male Forester has every reason to show off - he is beautiful. The metallic color is lovely and his antennae are fantastic - they look like combs. A wonderful shot of him in this pose. As always the details are superb.

Hi Ulla,
well approached, precisely focussed, well composed portrait of pretty Metallvingesvärmare, the low level point of view brings us into eye contact and makes us dive into the forester's world. Close approach is always worth the effort.
With thanks, and best regards,
Peter

Hello Ulla,
I missed this very male Forester! How funny to see it like that. I'm sure he wanted to impress you! Very well caught, it's one of the most difficult Moth to take pictures of.
I wish you a nice day

Hallo Ulla
Looking at this stunning image of the Forester I am reminded of the piano player Liberace and all the striking and shiny coats he used to wear while performing on stage. Absolutely beautiful! You have captured this pretty insect so well, and the metallic blue colour are shown so beautifully, not forgetting to mention that lovely set of anthers that looks like Liberace’s comb. A real star in own right, and a glamorous one indeed. Thanks for sharing. Kind regards.
