hello Anne
super sharpness picture
great composition
with good light and beautiful colours
great shot

Ciao Anne,
bellissima immagine di Pieris napi, eccellente composizione con la bella diagonale formata dai fiori e dalla farfalla, fantastici nitidezza e colori, molto bella la posa della farfalla dentro il calice del fiore ma ugualmente ben visibile.
TFS.
Buona serata.
Maurizio

Hallo Anne
Absolutely marvellous! A beauty indeed, and because it is in the colour that is so special to me, it is even more breathtaking. This so so beautiful, I struggle with the right words to describe this image. Like always your abilities as great photographer is shown in this image as the image as in total is really outstanding. Best regards.
Anna

Hi Anne,
A nicely composed shot of this Green Veined White.
It looks very similar to our pesky Cabbage White.
The exposure is very well controlled showing good detail .
Nice work.
Cheers
Steve

Hello Anne,

Well composed and good color tone and contrast!
And, it draws out good effect in the entire image on the color contrast between purple flowers and butterfly where white and gray exist together as well as blurred image of the background, I think.

mikio

Hi Anne,

Well done.

Bonsoir Anne,
A superb capture of both the G. pratense flowers and the P. napi taken from a great POV with excellent sharpness and DOF against a suitably OOF natural BG that is noiseless. A pleasing composition too.
Merci beaucoup pour le partage.
Bon weekend,
Amitiés,
Ivan

Aussi un grand merci pour tus amables mots récemment!

I can only surmise how discreet you must be in taking butterfly pictures, Anne, because I always find them sticking to some of the most beautiful flowers in your artistically composed pictures. This one fits my assessment like the proverbial glove.
The Green-veined White nectaring from these purple flowers looks majestic in this shot.
Thanks for sharing this gem of an image.
Warm regards.
Ram

No se , no se ( je ne sais pas, je ne sais pas :-)

Mis tonos Ingnasiennes que tanto te gustan tienen algo también de Cannoniens jajaja, aunque mejor con la 30D y tus eternos púrpuras ya que nos dejas a veces con la boca abierta !

Excelente trabajo , de gran profundidad e inmejorable encuadre.
Un abrazo: Josep Ignasi.

Wonderful picture of Green Venied white! supplemented by beautiful flowers, with nice balanced diffused light make this a pleasant picture.
PS. I might visit SWISS next month and will sure meet you people.

Hello Anne,
What a beautiful view of this white butterfly on my favourite species of flower. A lovely composition in natural colours and details are very sharp. - It makes me really long for summer! Here it's been very dull and foggy today.
Many thanks and best wishes, Ulla

Hi Anne. Splendida macro. Nitidissimi farfalla e fiore. Ne ho una di quete pieridae. Presto sulla mia galleria.

Hi anna,
very lovely capture of both - the butterfly and the purple flowers.
Lovely details and excellent use of light. The glow between the butterfly wings is really an impact.

Foozi
