salut Servane
toutes mes félicitations pour cette image très réussie, le 180mm est exploité à 100%. Parfaite netteté associée à une lumière intense et des couleurs vives et naturelles.
Super compo, j'adore.

Hello Servane,

This is a great capture of the Marbled White butterfly. The composition works very fine but most of all I like the lighting. The light falls tangential to the wing surface emphasizing every little piece of detail and the outstanding textures. The butterfly is razor sharp and the colors look great! Well done and presented on a perfectly blurred background! Thank you!

With Friendly Regards,
Eddie

Bonjour Servane,
Ce papillon est vraiement bien capturé! Les détails sont d'une netteté incroyable. La pose sur cette fleur de trèfle est magnifique. Superbes couleurs aussi!
Bravo et merci!!

Claude

It is wonderful sharpness that you managed here, Servane. The image is absolutely lovely. It might be fun to experiment at bit with the frame. Your high contrast frame is nice. Just for fun, try a neutral toned frame and see if your butterfly and flower visually come forward and "pop" right out of the frame. In your version the frame comes forward, pushing the subject back. It is a fun experiment.

aohh ! Quelle merveille de netteté ! C'est extra. j'aurais peut-être polacé le papilolon un peu plus sur la gauche, mais bravo !
