Stellar, JP! Really great capture of the butterfly. Great focus and lighting. Perfect DoF, too. But the color match with the flowers makes this a calendar shot (you could sell this easily)!
Best,
Mike

Hello Jean Paul!
Beautiful shot! As Mike already said it, the color of the flower matching the color of the butterfly looks wonderful. Just the right exposure for well visible details of the insect. Congratulations,
Mark

Bonjour JeanPaul, Je suis incompétant pour t'aider à trouver le nom de ce papillon. Par contre j'aime la compo et les belles couleurs de l'image !

What amazing colors. It bears repeating the match between the yellow and black of the flower and the yellow and black of the butterfly makes this a special capture. I know you did not want to loose the wing tip at the bottom, but that's wildlife photography. Beautiful Really!

Very nice picture. Love the combination of coulours. Pity the tip of the left wing is missing and a bit unfocused.

Hi JP

What an amazing shot! The colors and light of this capture are simply superb! They give out so much emotion, warmth...excellent!
Also very nice POV, with the wings of this beautiful butterfly wide opened, great details, all making a splendid composition.
Very well done!

Hi JP,
Excellent shot of this beautifully coloured butterfly. Colours are bright and vivid and very good POV. Pity the LHS wing was not framed completely.

Hello Jeanpaul,

excitingly rich and warm colours, and a very dynamic composition with a lot of impact from the distance!
The left tip of forewing slightly cropped is the only little nit.

As for the ID - sorry I am not very familiar with North American b-flies, but at first sight I would have thought of Danaus plexippus, the Milkweed Butterfly, even though the markings are slightly different to what the species usually looks like.

Thank you! Best regards,
Peter

Hello Jeanpaul,
your butterfly is a Plain Tiger (Danaus chrysippus). It´s the african Monarch. This is a very nice photo. Great colours, sharpness and POV. This is a very nice composition. I like it very much. TFS.
Have a great weekend.

Hi Jeanpaul

Beautiful shot, the composition is lovely and the details are excellent, the colours are lovely, I really like when the image uses the same colours just different tones, I think it is really effective.

Hola Jean Paul,
Muy buena foto, me gusta mucho la mariposa bien a foco y la flor borrosa y desenfocada como fondo; creo que es lo mejor de tu foto además de gusatarme la combinación del naranja con el negro, casi los únicos colores en esta foto bi tonal.
Saludos

Había perdido esta imagen en medio de tantas otras Jeanpaul... hermosa compo con un maravilloso colorido, no sólo de la mariposa sino de la flor también.
Un perfecto trasfondo logrado a partir de un adecuado DOF y muy buena nitidez.
Sólo criticaría que el ala no se aprecia completa... pero no desmerece la calidad de la presentación.
Muy buen trabajo.
Saludos... Ricardo


I had lost this image amid so many others Jeanpaul... beautiful compo with a wonderful coloring, not only of the butterfly but of the flower also.
A perfect background achieved starting from an appropriate DOF and very good clarity.
Only I would criticize that the wing is not appreciated complete... but not deteriorate the quality of the presentation.
Very good work.
Best regards... Ricardo

Bonjour jean-Paul !
Cette image est vraiment splendide ! Les couleurs sont lumineuses, la composition et le POV sont superbes, et les détails sur le papillon sont excellents. Le papillon est également magnifique, et j'aime bien la manière dont ses couleurs s'accordent avec celles de la fleur. Félicictations !

Tres jolie.
