[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
For ages, a stray picture of a small white lurked undetected on this page. A visitor to the site pointed it out and I discovered to my horror I had no picture of large white at all. So I've started remedying the situation and finally have a few good uppersides of the butterfly.

Large whites are common butterflies all over Europe though they are migrants and their populations may vary dramatically from year to year. They are regarded as pests of cabbage plantations but frankly I think we should learn to share. Summer without cabbage whites would not be the same.

Hi John,

Wonderful macro shot of the Large White! It looks so beautiful. The sharpness is just unbelievable and the POV and DOF are simply great. The yellow colored flowers give great contrast to the white butterfly. Very well done!

Have a nice weekend.

thanks and regards,
Paras Bhalla

bonjour john
les piérides du chou ne sont pas faciles à photographier, ils sont tout le temps en mouvement, vole haut et loin et ne restent jamais longtemps en place
mais tu as réussi a capturer celui-ci avec de superbes details, j'aime bien la composition et les couleurs contrastantes de cette image
Passe un bon dimanche
Jacqueline
