Reinier

Very nice work Christian. Excellent exposure, sharp detail and well composed..Wonderful colors that work very well together. Very well done. Thank You!

It is indeed very common. There is no sunny day in the summer without seeing one. I never seen yet one resting on lilac flowers. The colour combination is stunning.

Belle réussite Christian!

Mis à part le fait que j'aime mieux une photo de papillon partiellement de face que de derrière, il n'en demeure pas moins que ton POV présente d'excellents détails dans son ailes gauche. La mise au point est très bonne et l'exposition parfaite demontrant plein de nuances dans les blancs sans pour autant être sous-ex. L'harmonie du blanc avec le violet de la fleur est un régal pour les yeux de même que le fond tirant sur le mauve et laissant sentir une texture qui ne dérange en rien l'attention que l'on porte au sujet principal.
Du très bon travail et merci pour l'envoi.

The compo and contrasting colors are very nice. Lovely subject. Well done.

Colorful photo of the commonly spread (in my country) but nice butterfly. Perfect composition and colors.

Hi Taz,
Congrats on your 200th post. This is a really pretty butterfly. I like how you captured the intricate details. Wonderful colours and composition. Good job!
Claudia

Hi Christian,
WOW! what a beautiful composition of colors. The White butterfly on the purple flowers really looks great. Exposure is excellent, and this has given the colors great beauty. Detail is nice and sharp with a perfect OOF backround. Congrats. on #200 OUTSTANDING!
Scott

Hello Christian, congrats on your 200th!
It's a lovely photo. I like the colours, well done on the lighting too. I just think POV could've been a bit better.
Anyway, I like it.
WELL DONE!

Congratulation for your 200th. I wish you other happy 200!
Nice composition, colours and shapes as always with a great note.
I see you are as short of time as I am too, but we always return sooner or later to TN :)
Best regards, my friend.

Bonjour, Christian!
The blossoms of lilac create a very romantic setting for the Large White, and an exquisite colour contrast, too. Getting very good scale details without any overexposed parts on the white wings is a technical masterpiece.
Well composed, too - mabe just a little bit too much empty space on top. Perfect notes.
A very good occasion to celebrate your 200th posting - at an amazing average of almost 40 points each! Admiration and congratulations!
Peter

P.S.: Going to spend an afternoon viewing and enjoying all your 200 postings. Just started to do so. A very impressive collection of masterpieces you have contributed to the TN site, a great pleasure and a real adventure to look at.
