Hi Peter,

Wonderful macro shot of the Cynthia's Fritillary!
The colors of the butterfly are well defined in your picture and so are the sharpness and POV. The DOF is just amazing. I like the great details of the hairs on the thoray part of the butterfly. The antennae are beautifully shown. The rock in BG gives great contrast to the colors textures of the butterfly.
Well done!

thanks and regards,
Paras Bhalla

Hello Peter,
How wonderful to see and photograph this species, especially the male, like you have done in this fine close portrait!
The dorsal POV against the light coloured rock is just right and taken with excellent sharpness and colours.
It reminds me of iduna that I have yet to capture digitally, but this species is even more striking.
Thanks for delighting us with this!
Best regards,
Ivan

PS: many thanks for your kind remarks on my third anniversary with TN!

Lieber Peter,
ich sehe ... auch du warst erfolgreich mit der Kamera unterwegs. Cynthia hast du wundervoll und scharf getroffen. Die Art, inklusive der Weibchen, gehört sicher zu den attraktivsten europäischen Scheckenfaltern. Eigentlich wollte ich heute mit einer kleinen Scheckenfalter-Serie beginnen - das habe ich nun verschoben. Ich denke wir werden uns da ergänzen.
Schöne Grüße, Peter

P.S. Ich war jetzt über 3 Wochen in den Alpen unterwegs. Davor hatte ich meine TN-Aktivitäten etwas eingeschränkt und wollte sie jetzt wieder verstärken. Schön, dass du genau zu diesem Zeitpunkt auch wieder dabei bist - das motiviert mich noch mehr.

Hello Peter,
What a stunning beauty this is and your capture is brilliant! I can't recall having seen anything like this before and I'm most impressed. Excellent sharp details and wonderful colours. It surely must make rock-climbing a worth-while activity!!
Many thanks and all the best wishes, Ulla

Sirven los comentarios que te hice a tu anterior fotografía para esta también. Belleza en los colores y mucho, mucho realismo :-)

Probably the best backdrop one could ask for Peter....and teh offset showing a bit more of the back works here..normally not but yours is neutral so it works better than fine!

Peter:
This is fantastic. What an extraordinary fritillary! You have preserved the natural colours and softly hairy body very nicely, and focus is perfect. I envy you this experience and thank you for sharing this - a new species to me.
Best wishes, Nigel.

Hallo Peter,
sehr schöne Aufnahme von diesem männlichen Cynthia-Exemplar mit toller Schärfe und vielen Details. Der steinige Hintergrund in harmonischen Farben gefällt mir ebenfalls ausgezeichnet. Der Text ist ausgesprochen informativ und lehrreich.
Viele Grüsse,

Lieber Peter,
Du überrascht mich gleich zweimal mit dem Bild. Ich habe noch nie einen solchen Falter gesehen, prächtig ist er. Und Du hast eine neue Cybershot verwendet, die offensichtlich in Deiner Hand wiederum Spitzenresultate liefert.
Mit herzlichem Gruss,
Dieter

Hi Peter.
I am impressed with your post a lot. Great presentation of the pictured species and wonderful place where it lives. At main shot you managed to achieve amazing 3D-effect. I feel myself very close to this fine specimen. All its details are extreme. Colour reproduction is precise despite the high contrast. I like wonderful diagonal composition too. All ion all next your outstanding shot and fine post at whole. My best wishes and TFS.

Lieber Peter,
Habe noch ein Bild gefunden, das mir entgangen ist! Wirklich eine Schönheit! Diesen Schmetterling habe ich leider noch nie gesehen. Scheint aber wirklich hoch oben zu hausen!
Wie immer perfekte Bildschärfe und angenehme Komposition.
Ich möchte Dir und Deiner Familie noch Frohe Weihnachten wünschen und hoffe immer noch, bald wieder ein Stoeckl-Bild zu sehen. Morgen fahren wir in die Berge.
Herzlich grüsst
Anne

Hi Peter
This pattern looks like a feline face. Impressive!
The butterfly does not know that has a protective shield.
Sharpness and exposure are perfect.
