Mepo, it was the right word. A butterfly=perhonen, the butterflies=perhoset, there are butterflies= there are perhosia (undefinited form) (was that right?) |

Old Finn. I was worried that I might not have the correct word. I have retired Sherlock but I could not resist leaving a hint that I knew who had composed this beauty. I'm sure we don't have the Inachis io in North America - it is certainly a beauty. Now what is the difference between a perhoset and a perhosia ? |

Thank you all for the nice comments. Mepo: Inachis io is right. You seem to know the perhoset. |

Nice finish! I am still amazed at the detail you captured in the subject; it is so real and true to life it appears surreal! |

Well I'm glad it wasn't flowers and a dried butterfly! Nice capture. Perhaps a touch too much sharpening, but it could just be my monitor. Good Luck. |

Beautiful butterfly pic although maybe a bit "busy", the (otherwise beautiful) strong coloured flowers steal attention from the little beauty, agree the contrast is nice on the other side. Well done with a subject that for me is a real challenge, as I seem to be unable to get a decent butterfly pic myself :-) |

Beautiful colours - I personally like the contrast between the live flowers and the butterfly. |

Perhosia Inachis io I believe. The body seems a little blurred but I like the composition and the fact that you have shown the environment for this Peacock. Love that Northern light as usual. tt for sure. |

Nice capture of this Peacock Butterfly, nice colours and sharpness. It's a little unfortunate that the dead flowers are included in the shot, but still features high in my TT, good luck! |

Thanks Jade O. and Maike 13. The picture was taken in the garden of a country house on Rosala island on the south-western archipelago of Finland. The farmerīs wife is keeping there a cafe during the summers. Jaded O.: maybe I have too little contrast in the screen of this laptop of my summer place.

Good eye. Love the contrast between the butterfly and the dead flowers. Makes for a beautiful shot. In my top five. |

This looks almost like a still life shot yet obviously it is a dynamic capture. There is a tension between the colours and I'm unsettled by the darkness of the subject against the brightness of the surroundings. Maybe a vignette effect would have helped. Still too good not to make my TT. |
