I wonder who Amanda was? I can see the blue in the butterfly as well as on the flora. The butterfly is perfectly focused and yet quite natural in appearance without being too technical...added your touch of a delicate nature in design it works very nicely...

Hi Ulla.
Both plant and butterfly are splendid. Framing is superb. You managed to reflect all beauty of the plant and flowers perfectly. It is clear the butterfly is reproduced so skillfully. Amazing sharpness of the main subject and fine smooth BG. Bravo. Well done.

Hi Ulla,

The ant has good taste - a beautiful Amanda Blue and lovely flowers. This must be one of the prettiest butterflies and it is perfect in this shot. Colors, details, background, composition are all superb.

Hello Ulla,

Very nice composition. Excellent focus on the butterfly and the flowers. Splendid colours. I have the impression you blurred too much the background.
Cheers,

Accurata ed elegante composizione per questa bellissima farfallina che sembra danzare sul fiore (preferisco il decentramento del fiore che forma una scala naturale per condurci alla farfalla), splendido BG, ottime nitidezza e definizione dei dettagli, fantastici i colori. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Hello Ulla!

Very romantic title, but I think ant is thinking how to bite leg of butterfly :-) Nice scene and composition, very interesting note. It's like Gert's revenge - this years butterflies are in Sweden but not in Poland :-)

I also happened to shoot another species of Blues yesterday afternoon, Ulla.
Every Saturday afternoon, my wife and I drop in at our son's place for the weekend and I immediately take the easy way out -- just strolling around the garden and looking for insects. Not much of butterflies, but a few dragonflies are always at hand by the artificial stream.
So I found a pair of those small blues with tails which they keep twisting about while resting. I will try to edit one today and post it.
I am always fascinated with blue flowers, so this Amanda's Blue resting on Alkanet just makes my day. I like the colours and the composition and also that ant taking the tally of your subjects in the picture to two :)!
TFS and regards,
Ram

Hallo Ulla
Due to the fact that I have been ill, I just could not give my comments to some of the lovely images that appeared and past me by on the gallery. Now I have such a lot of catching up to do so please pardon me for only saying……………………
Splendid image. It is indeed a feast to the eye and it did not go unnoticed. Great colour and clarity captured on both the butterfly and the purple of the flower. The fine hairs on the flower and stem is really spectacular. I like it a lot! Ok, I like the ant too, but the purple of the flower is my favourite.
Best regards
Anna
