Description

Nikon D40 - Handheld A portrait of a Ochlodes sylvanus - in german called "Dickkopf-Falter". On Wednesday evening he was sitting in the gras and waits for the photographer to take a portrait - that was my time and I try to take my chance. Thanks for taking the time to look, comment and rate my images. Hope you enjoy my images. Greetings.

excellent pov and macro. we usually have many here but I have not seen hardly any this year but with the continuous winds, it would be very hard to capture any way

This is an awesome macro! Perfect focus on the insect's head and beautiful bokeh blur! Great exposure too! I dont even want to tell you what Dickkopf-Falter sounds like in English, but it would require Viagra to fix!!! Hahaha!
