Hi Jose,
Sorry I am not sure on the ID, but it is a beauty. Under the conditions you had to shoot this in, it turned out very well.
The colors are beautiful. Detail is pretty good for the long lens.

Hola Jose,
the species shown is
- Melanargia ines
- Spanish Marbled White
which occurs in Spain and northern Africa.
The composition is fine but sharpness is a bit soft.
Best wishes, Peter

Hi Jose

This is another beautiful butterfly from you!
I know what you mean about nowadays weather...i also must resort to my archive these day :(
I really like the beautiful blue flower that the butterfly stands here, but u think that both it and the b-fly deserves a bit more attention...so i made a workshop...hope that's ok with you.
The POV is nice, the DOF is excellent - blurring the BG beautifully but keeping the subject in good focus and the colors are nice.
The exposure is i'm affraid a little under, but the composition is great.

Bravo and TFS

Hola José Miguel,
Me gusta mucho la composición general de la foto.
Manejaste muy bien todos los elemntos en ella: La mariposa con la iluminación superior sobre sus alas, la preciosa flor y todo el complejo fondo de matorrrales.
A pesar de haberla captado a la máxima distancia focal obtuviste muy buenos detalles sobre el insecto.
Quizás un poquito mas de apertura le vendría bien al fondo.
Enhorabuena, gracias por compartir la foto y feliz fin de semana,
JM

Hi Jose,
Wonderful shot considering the conditions. I like the position of the butterfly with the subdued sunrays falling on the half-opened wings, making it look translucent. Wonderful DOF and POV. Very nicely composed. Kudos.

Hello Jose,
I think you did very well under the conditions you describe. Had it been sharp it would have been a really great shot. I like the light coming through the wings. The composition is very nice.
TFS and regards, Ulla

Hello Jose,
lovely butterfly capture, with a lovely composition. I like the low light and the softness in this shot. Almost like a dream emerging.
Very well done.

Conicido con Batu en que la imagen es algo soft realmente Jose.
La belleza de la composición, el buen control de la luz y el adecuado punto de vista conforman una bonita composición, pero es evidente en el workshop de Horia la optimización que puede lograrse en sobre esta imagen.
Un gran saludo... Ricardo

Hello Jose,
What a fine picture of a Mariposa (is that right word in Spanish?) you have taken out from your archive!
This two-colours butterfly has lovely patterns on both sides of its wings which you have captured very well from your point of view.
I also like the play of light and shade on the wings.
The overall composition has your very special artistic stamp on it.
Best regards,
Ram

Hi Jose.
I like your colourful picture so much. Very nice impressive scenery and perfect composition. Butterfly and flower are composed very well. Lighting is very expressive too. Some hardly noticeable softness of the image is not a point at all. My best wishes and TFS.

Hola Jose,
Though this is a bit soft the composition is good and taken against the light makes this a beautiful shot of M. ines with a good neutral Bg.
TFS and best wishes, Ivan

I can see why you wanted to shoot this beautiful butterfly. Lovely light through the wings and a nice composition. Still a nice shot despite the difficulties you described. I'm astounded by Horia's workshop..he can improve all of my photos if he wants :)

Hola José,
Después de ver el workshop de Horia me parece mas bella la mariposa, que si común en Andalucía, por aquí no se ve tanto. El posadero y los detalles son muy buenos, gracias por compartirla. Un abrazo

Hello José,
beautifully composed butterfly portrait of that well featured Spanish Melanargia takes elements of its meadow habitat well into balance. Beautiful gentle light. A slight increase in contrast and some postwork sharpening might further improve the impact without affecting the atmospheric qualities of the image. I think Horia's workshop did a good job.
Thank you, and best regards,
Peter

Buenas Jose, menuda melanargia te has marcado, está preciosa, pero además, el workshop de horia es fantástico, fíjate como puede ganar una imagen que ya de por sí es buena. Ah! por cierto, no se si te interesa, pero se ha creado en Córdoba una Asociación de Fotógrafos de Naturaleza (FONACOR), si estás interesado me lo dices y te pongo en contacto con ellos. Un saludo y enhorabuena por la captura.

Hola Jose !
I have a picture of the same butterfly on the same flower, it's almost exactly the same ! I will try to post it some day. Anyway, it is an excellent picture, I love the POV showing both top and under side of the wings, and the light on the butterfly is very beautiful. Well done !
Valerie.

Jose, my friend,
looks like a RICE PAPER butterfly.
It is so BEAUTIFUL.
You did a GREAT focusing job.
Our winter will soon be over; and our butterflies will
also come out to play.
Because of the constant bombardment of the "Chinook" winds the squirrels are out. Shall post one tomorrow.
Best regards, Mario.
