Bonjour Gaetan,
Fine sharp capture of the nominate form of the Speckled Wood butterfly (Pararge aegeria aegeria) with excellent contrasting BG. This is a good shot but maybe closely cropped at the top and perhaps a little too much BG on the right.
TFS and best wishes, Ivan

nice water patterns to the left but on the right the main flow is a bit overexposed. focus is a tad soft in the near field too. my personal bias is that color is better than B&W.

What a lovely pic. Normally what I see are just the animal or bird, but in this case you have it in its natural setting with the stemmed work popping out from the pond. This picture needs no frame. It is a natural!

Hej Ivan
Nice shot of this little, fast and not easy to catch Treecreeper.
Common pose of this bird on way up before they turn and desipere in two seconds. I found similar if not the same kind of bird on my last visit to USA. You did good work here... Details and colours are good, maybe little bit more crop from any of sides but not so important.
Why you are using Neat Image? I found that this software is not so good imho. OK it remove noise but kill details too and make photo to looks like a painting or unreal. This is just question and have nothing to do with your excellent presentation :)
TFS
Regards
Ralf

Una maravillosa conjunción de dos auténticas bellezas en una imagen deliciosamente nítida y bonita. Me encanta la composición y la graciosa pose de la mariposilla.
Gracias Jose
Un fuerte abrazo

Yikes. It gives one the feeling that small strange creatures are all over it but in cammo. An unusual picture and unique...
