VANESSA ATALANTA (Linnnaeus, 1758)

Red Admiral
Admiral
Vulcain

Family: Nymphalidae
Genus: Vanessa

This well-known butterfly has been described very often on this site, I don't come back on its description.
I just would like to mention that Vanessa atalanta was very often represented in Flamish still-lifes paintings of the 17th century, because ,of course, its beauty.
I have taken this picture in a sunny autumn-afternoon in the Botanical Garden of our city.
A little color to change from our wintery weather.

The details are nice and sharp, the composition is wonderful, and I also like the flower he is sitting on, with thei beautiful dark red color. It's a pleasant picture, very cheerful, makes me long for the warm days to come back. Very well done !

Hi Anne,
Very nice close up.Colors,details,POV,sharpness and composition are wonderful.Excellent work!
Thanks for posting.

Bonjour Anne.
Trés belle vanessa.Mes compliments.

Hallo Anel
"Wonderskoon" is all I can say. Really beautiful with an assortment of lively and rich colours all in one image. The huge petals of the flower is really a lovely backdrop for this great image. The dark colours of the butterfly displays well and is pleasing to the eye. You used the play of light to your full advantage, resulting in a sunny photograph. The combination of dark colours is great, and blends in well with one another. Thanks for sharing.
Best regards
Anna

Bonsoir Anne,
C'est encore l'hiver chez toi, mais ce splendide vulcain automnal te donne de quoi patienter un peu. Les couleurs du décor sont magnifiques.
Dans le sud, le redoux peine ŕ s'installer cette année et la nature a un peu de retard. Je dois encoreroe apprendre la patience...
Amicalement
Hervé

Witaj Anne,
Rusałka Admirał należy do tych motyli, które lubią pozować do zdjęć - doskonale to widać. Podoba mi się kompozycja i karminowy kwiat na którym siedzi motyl. Gratuluję.
Pozdrawiam
Alina

hello Anne
beautiful colour composition

greeting lou

Merci Anne pour le votre commentaire.

Tu toma casi perfecta, tanto en colores como en encuadre y nitidez. Se hecha a faltar algo de luz en la parte central de la mariposa, pero por lo demás preciosa.

Un abrazo: Josep Ignasi.

Hi Anne.
Simply wonderful, colourful picture of an amazing scene. Butterfly, flower and surroundings are beautiful at highest range. DOF os the best. Details and sharpness of the image are superb as well as wonderful rich colours and impressive lights. Square cropping is the best for this scene. Bravo. Great shot of a lovely scene.
Alexei.
