bonjour a tous.
moins reussi que la precedente photo que j'ai publiée de ce machaon en partie a cause du vent une fois de plus mais aussi de la vivacité de ce papillon qui n'arrete pas de bouger.dans la bataille il a perdu un bout de queue,mais j'ai eu envie de le partager avec vous tout de même. la precedente .


hello has all.
less succeeded than the preceding photograph than I published of this swallowtail butterfly partly because of the wind once more but also of the promptness of this butterfly which stopped not bouger.dans the battle it lost an end of tail, but I wanted to divide it with you all the same.
the first .

good focus nice composition with the flower. it's be nice if more of the wings were visible. also slightly more DOF to get the wings in focus would be nice. good colors.

Hello Laurent,
Beautiful Papillon butterfly.
Very good POV and DOF.
I do a little correct of your photo in workshop.
Don't be angry :) Your picture is very very nice!

Hi Laurent.
Excellent capture of this amazing butterfly.Good composition with pretty diagonalle position on flower(it is pity as though bit lower wings be out of the frame).I like accurate sharpening on body and very nice point of view.Colors are wonderful and blurred BG is superb.In those position with full opened wings it is not possible hereof big butterfly holds the entire in focus,IMHO.Well done.
TFS,with greeting Milos.

Very beautiful butterfly. It could be the brother of the one I published. Even the tails are the same. Very nice image! Well done. Reid

Belle photo de ce magnifique papillon, belles couleurs et grande netteté. Amitiés Thomas

Hello Laurent,
This is a superb looking Butterfly and you captured the image of it very well. It is so annoying when we miss a little bit of our subjects, isn't it. Never mind, you did extremely well with your presentation. Beautiful.
Cheers,
Debbie

Hi Laurent,
This one is also beautiful. I agree with you that swallowtails are fast moving and difficult to get a good shot. I have a few photos of swallowtail taken in the wild. May share with you in the near future. Very well done and tfs.

Hi Laurent,
Splendid shot of the Swallotail with impressive sharpness and nice colours. Excellent POV to present it and the smooth BG highlights it well. It is a pity that the tip of the tail is cropped and the wing edges are out of focus. Anyway, very nicely composed. Kudos.
TFS.

Bonsoir Laurent, si cette photo est moins réussie que la précédente, c'est que cette dernière est tout simplement exceptionnelle. Il n'empêche que c'est encore une superbe composition. Bravo je devient fan

Magnifique pap, excellentes couleurs et bonne netteté.
Ici dans le midi, presque pas de papillons cette année, va savoir...

Hi Laurent,
Colorful close frame. I like the POV and details..I think Lukasz WS helped bring the exposure in line.
Well done!

Bonjour Laurent,
even thought the lighting was not in your favour you did quite well capturing this beautiful swallow tail. Details are nice and sharp and the POV is excellent.
A bit more contrast and darkening might improve the overall look.
