Hello Bayram Dostum!
Thanks for your kind thoughts!
Yes I think this unusual fritillary could be an Anatolian version of Melitaea arduinna, a fine male captured with technical excellence and fine natural colours against a nice OOF natural BG.
The lines on the front wing markings may even indicate a sepate species, especially if you found several like it.
Thanks and enjoy Antalya. We would very much like to go back there sometime as we were last there over 22 years ago.
Cheers,
Ivan

Hello MF Bayram
bellissimo esemplare di Melitaea dai colori molto vividi che la mettono in risalto nel migliore dei modi sullo sfondo neutro che dona una gran profondità alla composizione. Eccellente messa a fuoco su tutto il piano della farfalla con dettagli che ce ne fanno apprezzare tutta la bellezza. Una gran bel lavoro come sempre. Thanks

Hi Bayram.
My best wishes for your trip. I like both shared pictures. The place where you have pictured this beautiful butterfly is amazing. Presentation of this insect is splendid too. Colours are awesome. Sharpness and details of the butterfly as well as blurriness of the BG are superb too. POV is also great. Well done.

This may be a variation on the usual Fritillary, but the picture itself is a great creation from you, Prof Bayram.
The details on the wings are immaculate and nothing else distracts the attention from the subject.
Thanks and regards.

Hocam kelebeklerde bile yeni tür çıkartırsanız şaşırmam.
Sizin gibi değerli bir bilim adamı ancak böyle işlere imza atabilir. Ortadoğuya katkılarınız yadsınamaz.

Kelebek karesi de çok güzel hocam ama beni daha çok Çığlıkara manzarası etkiledi:) benim için iyi bir doping oldu. Harika bir yere benziyor. Akşam 11 gibi sizdeyim hocam.

Merhaba Bayram,
Excellent capture of this uncommon Melitaea. Your photo is perfect for the colours, sharpness and classical composition. I took also some shots of this species, but not really sharp. The 2 specimens I took lack also the spots on the upperside submarginal area. Maybe is it a local subspecies? Have a nice trip dear friend,
Cathy

Well done, Bayram.

I was thinking about Schopenhauer and his opinion about art. Through art you can leave behind all your prejudices as a person. Some kind of Plato statement if I'm not mistaken.
Must be some kind of dandelion effect, I guess.

Anyway a very good image indeed, aesthetically as well as scientifically.
