This time I have no recent shots as too much hot is making things difficult for the type of photos I use to take. So I decided to post my second butterfly. I'm not good at all in this art. I usually walk fast for the mountain and here in the south of Spain butterflies are better described as jetflies, as they fly fast and never stay motionless. I enjoy with TN bf expert that are many and very good.

This is satyrium spini, as wisely and kindly informed Cosmin (cosmln) as it has a blue stop.

The Blue-spot Hairstreak is a species from the Satyrium genus which are characterised by brown to brownish-grey undersides, a white 'hairstreak' crossing the wings and in particular a group of orange marks on the under hindwing, each species having a different arrangement in this area. S.spini is immediately identifiable from the dominant, square blue mark in the anal angle. (Taken from Timothy Cowles)

This butterfly was very calm and moved its "tail". I suppose that it wanted to catch my attention to that unimportant part of its body, but in any case this let me focused manually to get this not very bad capture.

Hi Jose,

Great shot, I really like the pose of the Butterfly, the detail is really nice and the colours are lovely too.

Hi Jose,
This is excellent, the light and colours are wonderful. Not only a great shot of the Butterfly but what amazing soft-looking flowers the Butterfly sits on. Excellent detail and a good note, I think the Butterflies I tried to photograph must have been Spanish :-) Even if I ran I could not keep up with them. Great work.
Best regards,
Adrian

Hi Jose,
A lovely capture... so soft, so crisp!
Very well composed image, captured with great details and fine vivid colours...
Macro work well done!
Greetings,
Pablo -

hi Jose,

lovely composition, with a so nice POV, with perfect BG for this butterfly colour.
the problem is with the ID.
the correct ID is Satyrium spini, that blue big spot is caracteristic for this species.
i hope this help you.

TFS,
cosmln

they can be surprisingly difficult to photograph and you have managed reasonably well here. I know I can struggle with them and never have enough DOF, and also choosing which bit of them to focus on can also be a problem.

Ignoring the focussing, I like the compositon and the colours in this picture and thise flowers(?) look very intersting as well.

TFS

Preciosa composción Jose, todo un lujazo.

Como me agrada ver algun insecto en tu galeria, casi ni me acordaba del ultimo. Veo que la espera valió la pena, ya que este lo capturaste de una forma elegante y con una composición "eterea" :)
Buen trabajo, da gusto cundo las sacas sin flash y salen bien, merece la pena insistir. Un saludo.

Hello José,
perfectly well captured "Mancha azul" resting, well composed.
Soft and tender details of the plant look very pleasant, too.
Good description of the typical behaviour of sitting calm and moving its tails. Very nice!
Thank you! Best regards,
Peter

Excelente composición, muy bella. Me gusta donde ubicaste a la mariposa; el fondo casi todo verde y cubierto de esa vellosa palnta, para mi, es fantástico. Linda luz y colores.

Hello Jose,
Very nice shot in this gentle environment. So much I like rhe colours and the pillow-like surrounding. Great peaceful colours. The only minus is too shallow DOF - even most of the wings are out of it.
Best greetings,
Michal

Hi Jose.
Thanks for warm greetings. I am very pleased.
So unusual art picture. Amazing soft and delicate surroundings and perfectly sharp image of the beautiful butterfly. Excellent POV and DOF. Composition is spot of. Soft lighting creates the great esthetic impression. My compliments.
