[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Bath White (Pontia daplidice) is a small butterfly of the family Pieridae, the Yellows and Whites, which occurs in the Palearctic region. It is common in central and southern Europe, migrating northwards every summer, often reaching southern Scandinavia and sometimes southern England.
Foodplants
Mignonettes (Reseda spp.) and various crucifers are used. In Britain and Ireland, Wild Mignonette (Reseda lutea), Hedge Mustard (Sisymbrium officinale), and Sea Radish (Raphanus raphanistrum) have all been recorded as foodplants.

Open and disturbed habitats, such as roadside verges, cultivated and derelict ground, are often used for breeding in continental Europe. Adults are highly mobile and can be seen in almost any type of habitat.

hi Tanja,
another great macro shot, with here a very nice yellow and white colors. Perfect neatness. Just for be honest, it's a little bit centred, you can use plant to work composition graphism.
Well done.

Hi Tanja

Another very nice macro shot from you!
I really like your parallel POV here and the good, sharp details you managed to get here.
The shot is a bit overexposed in my opinion, but other than that, the colors are nice and the DOF is exceptional!

Bravo and TFS

Hello Tanja,
Its a beautiful shot, the dof background is excellent and great sharp focus on the butterfly and the flower. You did loose something in the wings though. but still a beatiful photo. TFS

Hi Tanjia
Fantastic capture with excellent sharpness and a great point of view and composition! The wings look a bit overexposed through the hard light, but you did a great job with it.
Great presentation and good note.
Congratulations and TFS.
Greetings
