The last one of the summer

So many butterfly pictures on TL, I couldn't resisit when a saw last weekend this beautiful Inachis io or betterknown as European Peacock and in Dutch Dagpauwoog [day peacock eye].

The eyes on the wings appears blurry, but the edges are sharp.

Well anyway a try from the Baron, give me your opinion and advise.

Inachis io

Scientific classification
Kingdom: Animalia

Phylum: Arthropoda
Class: Insecta
Order: Lepidoptera
(unranked) Rhopalocera
Superfamily: Papilionoidea
Family: Nymphalidae
Subfamily: Nymphalinae
Tribe: Nymphalini
Genus: Inachis
Species: I. io

Binomial name
Inachis io(Linnaeus, 1758)
Synonyms:Nymphalis io

The European Peacock (Inachis io), more commonly known simply as the Peacock, is a well-known colourful butterfly, found in temperate Europe and Asia. It is the only member of the genus Inachis which is sometimes included in Nymphalis. It should not be confused or classified with the "American peacocks" in the genus Anartia; these are not close relatives of the present species. The peacock butterfly is resident in much of its range, often wintering in buildings or trees. It therefore often appears quite early in spring. (Text: Wikipedia.com)

Hans-

Wow- What great colour and beauty you have captured here. The butterfly almost looks like it is made of porcelain, or some material.. not sure what.. it is striking. I really like it. TFS

Hi Hans,
I like this shot very much - you know I love insects - and butterflies are the queens of insects. But I'm also a little sad that this is one of the last ones - I will miss them all in winter - and there were not many butterflies here this year, I wonder!
Thanks and greetings

Hi Hans,
Very elegant presentation for this macro! The colors and sharpness are so beautiful. I like much this blurred background enhancing the acuity and brightness of wings and leaves. Very good work! Bravo! Annie

Gewoon helemaal SUPER Hans,hier ga ik niet moeilijk lullen.....
jan

Hi Hans
You have chocen on of the most difficult things to take a photo from. They are moving all the time, it is difficult to focus to geth that d.... thing sharp - you have nearly succeded, maybe it is because of the resize I dont know, but there is a slightly mis of sharpness. And after my opinion, a beautiful thing like a butterfly, it is a shame to ruin the beaty with the colors from the flowers in the background and the colors surrovnding the butterfly, therefor one could have chosen to conwert it to B&W please se the workshop maybe you agree.
All thise with the danger to sound negative and I am not, because I think you have done a good job, nicely captured, great POV, and some like it with all the colors surrovnding it, so all in all you deserve maximum point to this one.
The very best regards from your friend in Denmark.
Jens.

Hi Hans, this is so nice, it looks like a jewel! The wide spread wings show the colour and patern and you captured it well.
Nice bg.

Mooi zeg !!
Mooie kleuren en veel details. Ik heb dit soort al een lange tijd niet meer gezien. Erg mooie dof. De achtergrond is netjes ge-blurred, hoewel de achtergrond rechtsboven wat eilandjes laat zien. Maar dat past best in deze plaat.
En weer een goede note, natuurlijk.
groeten,
Joop!

Hello Hansie :)
Good capture of this lovely butterfly ! Not easy to catch them .... too full of life :o) Splendid contrasts on the wings, good light ... the whole shot is delicate, congrats !
Kisses
Marylou

Hans, m'n eerste reactie was " oh ! "
En die blijft " oh ! " ;-)
Mooi van kleuren en compositie.
De bloem onder vleugels is misschien wel wat donker, maar dan ben je vertrokken hé ...

Een zeer geslaagde " poging " Hans !

Groetjes

Jan
