A spring picture and my first butterflies here. I'd never seen them mating so clearly. The shot was taken in the dunes in hard wind so i had to use 1/500 to freeze them and lose some DOF

Hi Jeroen,

You have captured a great moment!
The colors are simply perfect and they are so natural in the picture. The sharpness and POV are perfect, along with well managed DOF.
Marvellous shot of the 'female' Chalk-Hill Blue butterfly! The contrast between the colors of the butterflies and the blurred greenish BG, is fantastic.
Very well done!

Have a nice weekend!

thanks and regards,
Paras Bhalla

Hallo Jeroen,
Weet je zeker dat dit icari zijn? Volgens mij is dit de derde keer dat ik vandaag een plebeius argus voor me zie. Maar ik ben geen expert.
Prachtige foto van dit parende paar. Vooral de linker is mooi scherp. Goede natuurlijke kleuren, goed geïsoleerd van de achtergrond. Uitstekende compositie.
Goed weekend,
Peter

Hello Jeroen!
This is very nice picture, not only because of special moment, but also as a documantary image. I like colouration, DOF and composition. Very nice work!

Hi Jeroen. Using the 1/500 worked so well. We can see all the details so clearly. With natural colours against the plain BG. I would have posted this by now it was to good to stay in your archives. Well done TFS.
