COLIAS CROCEA

Clouded Yellow
Postillon
Le Souci

After the multitude of Vanessa cardui we have seen this year, it seems that another "butterfly-wave" follows, this time the striking Colias crocea. I can see them everywhere in gardens and meadows.
I don't come back on this species, this having been done by several other TN-members in the last days.
I have taken this picture in our Botanical Garden.
In the meantime another species is arriving, Vanessa atalanta. Until now I didn't succeed to take a picture, they are so busy to investigate their environment.

Bonjour Anne,
2009 seems to be the year of both V. cardui and C. croceus!
This is a fine portayal of C. croceus, that has also 'invaded' Sweden this year, a rare event!
Your fine use of ambient light has given excellent colours and sharpness against a pleasing contrasting BG.
Merci et bonne soirée,
Amitiés,
Ivan

Hello Anne,
A Wonderful image. The picture is taking at a perfect timing. I like the way you present this picture.

Very fine capture of this Clouded Yellow, Anne.
This kind of perspective is a stroke of good luck and you have made the best of it.
The spots and other textures on the wings are well recorded.
As usual, your composition is immaculate.
Thanks and regards.
Ram

Hallo Anne,
schnell,schnell weil der Herbst ist ja da und die Schmetterlinge ... weg. Excepzional Makro. Schöne Farbe.
Ich wünsche euch einen angenehmer Sonntag,
Adrian

hello Anne
great sharpness composition
super details and beautiful colours
greeting lou

Hallo Anne,

Du hast recht, es gab richtige Wellen bestimmter Schmetterlingsarten, logischerweise auch auf TN. So bist Du nicht allein mit einem guten Colias-Beitrag, aber er ist ja auch zu schön. Ich habe auch Bilder popuärer Schmetterlige gemacht, aber die Konkurrenz ist hart... Jetzt habe ich schon 45 Schmetterlingsarten im Garten photographiert, allerdings sind nicht alle Bilder einwandfrei. Ich glaube, ich werde demnächst meine Wanzengallerie auf TN vorstellen...
Herzlich grüsst Dich
Dieter

Hi,
Beautiful yellow, nice orange/yellow colored. Bit brighter so some texture lost on the butterfly and too close for comfort. You should work on different aspect ratio for this beauty. tfs.

Hello Anne,
What a beauty! Excellent sharpness and details in this photo. Great contrasting colours. Good POV, OOF BG, composition and DOF.
Regards,
Peter

Bonsoir Anne,
Effectivement, il faut un peu de chance et avancer doucement pour parvenir à saisir le Colias si actif! Les détails sont bien saisis, j'aime bien le duvet de ses ailes et la lumière qu'elle dégagent. Amicalement,
Catherine

Hi Anne,

What a neat shot of the adorable golden yellow butterfly! The colors are superbly shown and the contrast between the butterfly's colors and the blurry BG, is amazing. The sharpness and POV are great and the DOF is very well maintained.

Thanks for posting.

kind regards,
Paras

c'est vrai qu'on en voit beaucoup en ce moment, mais le Souci est un si beau papilon, qu'on ne peut qu'en être content, il illumine l'environnement où il setrouve de sa belle couleur jaune
Cette photo est merveilleuse, les détails sont stupéfiants, la pose et le POV sont parfaits
Passe une bonne nuit
