It was a bright a sunny day, that day. Butterflies were way too fast and mobile to take a picture. And then all of a sudden a big dark cloud shifted between me, this butterfly and the sun. Just perfect: sunlight was great, butterfly didn't bother flying and I could take a couple of pictures. ALthough it a classical ( and maybe somewhat boring) pose I like it, because it was the first time I saw this species.
THis year a hand full of this species was seen in my country due to the high temperatures (?)

Hello Jacob,
Splendid close-up of the Bath White. Very nice light, excellent sharpness and natural colours.
Nice composition although personally I would have cropped it a bit on the right.
TFS and regards, Ulla

Hello again Jacob,
Yes this is a fine shot of daplidice and if I'm right in thinking that you scanned this then you did a good job. It is pretty sharp and BG is excellent.
Two small points:
Is it a bit oversaturated with too much green?

You must have composed this to avoid the square format, which resulted in too much BG on the right, but here you could have cropped it away as the b'fly is facing left. This is more of a matter of opinion, though.
TFS and best wishes, Ivan

Hi Jacob,
Great shot of this nice butterfly with excellent details and blurred background.
I agree with Argus about the cropping, the subject is maybe too centered.

Hi Jacob,
a very nice picture of a beautiful butterfly.
I agree too with Ivan about the crop but I also know that you not are keen on square format
Lovely colours and good details. The DOF is also nice, the subject standout well from the BG.
Well done.

Hello Jacob,
Markings on wings are clearly seen and well appreciated. Great camouflage with green and white wings which would be easily blended in with surroundings. Well done and well seen picture.
