[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Nothing very special, just a Marbled White, one of the most common butterflies - but he is still very beautiful. He was sitting on a flower in my garden, without moving, and during ten minutes I could take as many pictures I wanted. He was a very nice model.

So many things have already been written on the butterfly, it would be completely useless to repeat everything, so I just add a link to oe of my previous pictures, where I wrote some things about this species :

I hope you'll enjoy it !!!

Hola amiga,
preciosa macro y colores...
buen encuadre, y estupendo foco...
fino trabajo Valerie,
saludos

Meravigliosa macro di questa bellissima farfalla, eccellenti POV e composizione verticale con il fiore e BG stupendo dai colori solari, ottima nitidezza, fantastici i colori. Je ne connais pas l'Alsace, mais en admirer cette "oeuvre d'art", je me souviens le Midi, le soleil et les couleurs de la Provence. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Hi Valerie.
What a fine colourful picture of an amazing scene. I know and I have met both your characters: flower and butterfly. Excellent vertical composition, great details and sharpness of a main subject. DOF is selected perfectly and smooth BG is simply great. May be only white balance is a bit incorrect: Marbled white is a bit not white :). My compliments. Well done and TFS.

Hi Valerie,
He He He Yes it is a common one for you. But a rare one for us who leave in India. A very beautiful looking species. Excellent details and a lovely composition. Thanks a lot for sharing.

hello valerie,
excellent shot, you have got very nice results with the kit lens, the butterfly perched on the flower makes nice opportunity to shoot and you have taken full advantage of that,
very well done,
