Taken at the edge of a wood by a military area.

Silver-studded Blue Plebejus argus

Swedish name: Ljungblĺvinge, meaning ‘heather blue’.

The Silver-studded Blue is a common species in S. Sweden and most of Europe shown many times on TN. It is most common on sandy areas and heath-land where there is heather, its main larval host plant.

In this image I consider the Bramble flower as dominant as its visitor

Bramble Rubus nessensis

Swedish name: Skogsbjörnbär meaning ‘wood bear berry’. Brambles are called ’bear berry’
Found in S. Sweden. Unlike other blackberry species, the berries are tasteless.

I took this shot at a distance of about 1.8 meters (6 ft) with my long lens hand-held in ambient sunlight. After moderate cropping and size reduction the image was sharpened.

Hi Ivan,

Mycket intressanta och vackra detta makro. Underbara färger och nĺgra fler bra bildĺtergivning intressant.
En trevlig söndag,
Adrian

Chapeau !! que dicen nuestros amigos Franceses.
La luz es sencillamente maravilosa y pudiste, a pesar de la fuerza de la luz, controlar los blancos, nada fácil en esta toma. Encuadre "de libro" y buena mezcla de colores frios con unos detalles cálidos en las alas. Profundidad más que sobrada.
Un trabajo Made in Ivan !
Buen Domingo: Josep Ignasi.

Such beautiful creations of nature, that argus and the Rubus flower Ivan, both captured with the right amount of DOF against a flattering dark BG. TFS indeed this fine image MF.
Cheers,
Mehmet

Hello Ivan,
as usual for your insect pictures, both structures of the insect and of the flower are shown
with great sharpness and detail-richness. Despite the strong light the white petals are well exposed.
This is particular true for the right one, showing kinks and wrinkles of the surface.
Best wishes, Peter

Merhaba Ivan!
Zor bir kompozisyonu ve renkleri, ustaca bir çekimle zavkle izlenen bir kare haline dönüştürmüşsün dostum. Ellerine sağlık.

Hi Ivan,

You are revealing your artistic sensibility with this picture. I like much the composition, allowing to expose the entire flower and butterfly located in the upper right in a masterful way. Excellent result, supplemented by a good light, colors and impeccable details.

Hi Ivan.
I think the most impressive features of the image are brilliant subject and POV and terrific 3D-effect. It is absolutely three-dimensional shot. I am amazed with precise exposure and great reproduction of the white petals as well as other colour tones. DOF and sharpness of the flower and butterfly are stunning too. The best presentation of the cute species. My warm greetings and all the best.
Alexei.

Salam Ivan,

I like the sharpness and POV here with great natural colors. A great contrast can be seen between the colors of the butterfly and the dark green blurry BG.

Well done!

Excellent macro, congratulations!

A splendid shot, Ivan!
I love the DOF you've achieved!
Simply awesome!
Goldy

Dear Ivan,
always impressed by the wealth of clear details that you are achieving from a distance of 6 ft even when aiming at tiny butterflies like P. argus. Difficult light conditions of white brample blossom against dark distance in the shadow are well managed. Butterfly is seen in perfect light, finest details, and lively pose.
An unspectacular posting that touches me by its matter-of-fact simplicity and natural beauty. Thank you!
With best regards from cold and wet Vienna that is trapped under a several hundred meters thick layer of fog while there is said to be a clear blue sky, sunshine and warmth at all the surrounding hilltops just above, and out of reach for me today ...

Hello Ivan,

Hallo Ivan
This is really very beautiful. The colours and markings is bright and very eye-catching. I love the almost powdery wings and the tiny markings on the wings. It is a lovely image to look at, with lots of fine details to appreciate. Unbelieveable that a dainty creature like this can have such a lot of beauty. The overall image is sharp, pretty and colourful, with a great composition and point of view. Thanks for sharing. Best regards
Anna
