Bonjour Valerie!
Great news that you finally found your Swallowtails! Don't worry - next time you'll catch them :-) These Common Blues are really common last days :-) I like moment and composition, very nice colours and details. Excellent macro my friend!

Hi Valerie,
This is a beautiful composition including two beautiful subjects! And your photography does them full justice... Very nice work!
The wings are so silky soft yet crisp, great details and fine natural colours...
Excellent DOF and well framed!

Hola Valerie,
Has capturado esta pareja de mariposas con excelentes detalles, un color natural y un punto de vista a su misma altura. La flor queda bien y el fondo está perfectamente eliminado. Una foto muy conseguida.
Un saludo, José M.

Bonjour Valerie, vous n'avez pas perdu à l'échange !! ces Common blue sont "very busy" comme vous dites et le temps de pose peut être long!! Bien belle composition et super piqué. L'harmonie de couleurs (plante, insects, BG) est parfaite et la comparaison mâle /femelle de ces Polyommatus icarus est facile. Félicitations, Didier.

Hi Valerie,
Superb picture. Sharp and clearly seen. Composition, pov, dof are great. Sorry for blurry swallowtail pictures. They are fast moving butterly and very difficult to have a clear shot.

Un classique, mais tres bien execute, avec une lumiere parfaite et une mise au point irreprochable. J'aime aussi la composition et les fleurs en degrade de flou a l'arriere plan donnent une troisieme dimension a l'image.
Good work

Hello Valérie,
Great focusing and sharpness both of them, it's hard to take it sometimes. pov is true and bg is wonderful as always from you. These are really beautiful, i like the blue part of the male one's wing especially. Hey no matter for swallowtails, i think you can revisit that meadowland :-)

Hello Valerie,
pretty, well composed shot with excellent colours and details. Good story in your notes!
My own experiences with swallowtails: I never get them when I go for them on purpose.
But sometimes I catch one in good order when I would never have expected to see one.
With thanks, and best regards,
Peter

Hi Valerie,
I think the Blue is as beautiful as a Swallowtail, it's also my favourite Butterfly :-) It's a beautiful shot, excellent light and exposure, great details and colours. Good DOF, just a little noise in the background. Great work!

Excellent capture of this magnificent butterflies! Very good composition and POV! The colors look bright and natural and contrast is nice! Great use of DOF! From my experience I know getting sharp butterfly photos is difficult, especially on cloudy and windy days. But you did a wonderful job with these two lovers. Congratulations and TFS!

Eddie

Eh bien, Valérie, vous vous êtes vraiment reprise avec celle-ci.
Le sujet est encore plus intéressant, plus «vivant» et est présenté avec un beau contraste, pas choquant du tout pour le regard en observation.
La somme des détails est impressionnante. Et les couleurs sont d'une douceur, merveilleuse. Très belle lumière en plus.
Bravo. Dans mes favorites immédiatement.
