Halo Anne,
genau in dieser freien 'Minute' trifft dein Baumweißlingsbild hier ein. Bei den weißen Flügelflächen
lassen sich deutlich die Oberflächenstrukturen erkennen: Weiß und schwarz sind die schwierigen 'Farben'
für Fotograf(inn)en. Das Problem hast du hier aber belichtungsmäßig perfekt gelöst.
Die hervorblinzelnden Lilatöne bringen etwas Bewegung in den Hintergrund.
Das Bild ist farblich und geometrisch ausgewogen komponiert.
'So ganz nebenbei' ist der Falter auch noch scharf abgebildet.
Schöne Grüße, Peter

Wow, das kann man nicht besser machen, bin begeistert.
Hallo Anne, dieser Schmetterling ist wunderschön, leider hab' ich so einen noch nie vor die Linse bekommen.
Erstklassige Bildschärfe und strahlende Farben machen ihn zu einem Augenschmauss, vielen Dank und lieben Gruß

Hallo Anne!

Ein feines, zartes Geschenk für Marie-Christine. Das Bild besticht durch den gelungenen Aufbau, insbesondere aber auch durch den wunderbaren Hintergrund mit den Farbtupfern, die ihm Leben verleihen. Hervorragend, wie du die Weisstöne beherrscht hast!

Grüessli

Hello Anne,
You saved a real beauty in your archives here. This is an excellent closed-wing capture of A. crataegi on yarrow flowers. Everything is perfect, the sharpness, the OOF natural BG, the focusing, lighting and composition.
Well done and thanks for sharing what is a text-book illustration of this species.
Bon weekend,
Ivan

Bonsoir Anne,

Merci beaucoup pour cette superbe photo, ça me touche beaucoup. La composition est superbe. La photo est techniquement parfaite. Malheureusement je ne suis pas chez moi et l'écran que j'ai ici laisse un peu à désirer.
Merci encore,
Bon week-end,

You are a specialist in this arena and your work with whites is exceptional...an extremely hard colour to work with. If given an assignment to do somethign which contained white..back in the day...I had to have Jane work it up real well in the darkroom. Jane was 30 years ago my main darkroom person..she knows her images and standing here right by me nodding as I type:-)

Hello Anne,

You have shown very well this butterfly. I like the way you rendered the delicate veines of the wings as well as wigs and body texture. Colora have many color tones and are naturaly looking. I like that same color tones can be found on the insect and on the flower it is sitting on.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

Hallo Anne
What a most beautiful butterfly. A very striking insect with clearly visible details. You managed to capture this beauty in a lovely pose. I just love the dark coloured "veins" on the wings as it creates some kind of sovereignity. Great focus, sharpness and composition. A definite PPPP – Pretty, perfect, picture photo. The blurred flowers makes a very favourable background and the white flower highlightes the details of the butterfly even better. This is indeed a "ladies" butterfly. Very soft and delicate to the eye. Thanks for this contribution and dedication to Marie (Mariki)
Best regards.
Anna

La composition et la nettetés sont parfaites. Ce qui n'est pas toujours évident pour le papillon et la plante. La texture est vraiment bien rendue avec les veines en relief. Une photo de 1ère classe et une belle dédicasse pour Marie-Christine! Amitiés,
