salut valerie
le vol doit etre un peu plus delicat avec un bout d'aile en moins,ceci dit cela a peut etre facilité sa traque.moi j'en ai suivi un pendant 5 minutes puis j'ai laissé tomber.

Hi Valerie,
The details are nice, clear and sharp.
superb colours, lighting and exposure. Well composed, excellent notes and well framed. You really shouldn't leave beer bottles on the ground, they might tip over and you could spill some!!!!
Thanks for posting, have a great week my friend.

Hola Valerie,
Aunque esté estropeada, la mariposa está muy bien iluminada con una luz suave, perfectamente enfocada y el punto de vista vertical es óptimo. Una buena foto realista que muestra otra fase de la vida que necesariamente sigue a momentos más brillantes.
Un saludo, José M.

Hi Valerie,
Seem that butterflies do not need a whole lot of wing space to fly. Those beautiful wings may be for shwoing off then. A beautiful picture and well composed. Very well done and TFS.

hi Valerie
Encore un remarquable cliché une fois de plus.
Les couleurs sont très belles avec de beaux détails, la présentation est est belle.
Il ne manque pas selement un bout d'aile mais il lui manque la queue de droite.
merci pour le partage et Bravo....JP

Hi Valerie,
You got your swallowtail and your camera. That must have been a super day. I particulary like the depth in this photo. It has a 3D feeling to it. Great colors and good sharpness.

Bonjour Valerie,
it looks beautiful even with the broken wing. Great POV and very good detail. You did well on the composition, the damaged beauty stands out very well from the OOF BG.

Good picture, the animal may have met a bird, or a mower...

Hi Valerie,
good picture, fascinating and moving story!
Very interesting to read about the ability to fly very fast in spite of its damaged wings. What a perfect wing construction of nature. Very well decribing lively story.
According to my records, butterfly season is not likely to end before mid October in central Europe, and there may be many fresh butterflies and moths to be seen in September.
Thank you! Best regards.

Très belle photo, mais il est blessé a l’aile, l’avez vous soigné, je blague car si cela était possible je crois que l’on essayerait .La netteté et la lumière sont bonnes aussi. Thomas
