[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This time a butterfly from the gardens at Empuriabrava again. Some other time I will post another shot of te dragon fly on the pole.
I think (but who am I? There are real expert ID-ers here at TN) that these are Scarlet Swallowtails. They are showing an acrobatic act as they are mating while one of the two is hanging on the leaf.

I had to crop this shot a lot as I could not get close to it. Levels and USM as usual and in addition I processed the shot with Noise Ninja.

Génial ! Quelle chance de pouvoir capturer ce moment d'intimité de ces beaux papillons. Bonne qualité d'image.
Amusant trois papillons publiés au même instant sur TN ;-)
Well done !

Jan
Nice contrast on the blacks on the eing and good texture. Looks like trapieze artists. The Bg with the hot highlights can easily be cloned out to add a softer mood.

Muy buena nitidez, atinado DOF (no me agrada mucho el noise agregado).
Colores naturales y buen encuadre.

Very good clearness, accurate DOF (it does not please to much noise to me added).

Zeer mooie foto, zelden te nemen, good DOF, schitterend gedaan Jan!

Jan, This is a great photo because it's a break from the usual solitary insect capture. At first glance I thought you had used a mirror effect from a software program! The cycle of life-isn't it grand!

oups tres particulier ce genre de gymnastique...lol..
je ne connais pas ce genre de papillons noirs et j'en suis très heureuse de pouvoir les découvrir sur TN. grace à toi...belle capture toute en finesse...merci pour ce partage...amicalement BI

Un sujet tres intéressant et tres rare a prendre en photo , bien vu .
