[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I had been away on business trips and I need a lot of catching up to do. I will definitely respond to those folks who posted comments and critiques while I was away. My apologies for the tardiness!

Another image from last summer. I have always been fascinated with insects and macro photography. With lepidopterans, I specifically enjoy seeing their tongues (proboscis) in action or when they coil and uncoil it to sip juice or nectars. Patience is such a needed virtue in photographing insects. This skipper does not appear to be bothered by my presence as I followed it for a good five minutes without flying far.

No cropping here. I desaturated it a bit as I think colors captured by Nikon lenses are a bit on the bright side.

Have a good day!

The detail on this beautiful macro is just stunning Danilo. I just love the eyes and antenna. The colour of the flower contrasting the soft browns is very effective. A beauty.

The part is sharp around proboscis and the the other little blurred and blurred make all the composition a beaut for the eyes
