PIERIS RAPAE

Small White
Kleiner Kohlweissling
Piéride de la rave

This butterfly of the White-family (Pieridae) is very common and started to fly around in my surroundings at the beginning of April. I saw the strange flight of the butterfly and looking closer, I discovered that there were two and not only one. They posed on these lanceolate leaves and rested there for quite a while, so I could take some pictures. The light was quite strong.
We had some internet problems for four days, so I couldn't be present on TN and look at your pictures and write critiques. I hope it will be solved now.

Bonjour Anne,
A fine capture of a pait of mating P. rapae taken from an ideal POV with excellent sharpness. The lighting emphasises the contours of the wings well and I like the composition with the pastel shades greens and yellows.
Merci et bonne soirée,
Ivan

Ciao Anne,
prima di tutto complimenti per questa prima cattura 2009 (anch'io quest'anno ho fotografato queste farfalle la prima volta mentre erano in accoppiamento, ma in una immagine piuttosto disturbata), eccellente POV e ottima definizione, sai che apprezzo il tuo stile "personale" di colori piuttosto morbidi, in questo caso IMHO un po' troppo morbidi (nel mio video anche una leggera dominante grigio-verde, ma non sono un esperto in tal senso) per cui ho voluto fare un confronto elevando il contrasto: il risultato alla fine è solo questioni di gusti, le differenze infatti sono apprezzabili, ma non sostanziali.

Buona serata
Con amicizia
Maurizio

Hello Anne ,
Soft Colors ...

Hi Anne.
Amazing subject. Inclined leaves with sweet butterflies on one of them are looked perfectly. Superb sharpness of the insects and pleasant blurriness of the BG create a wonderful combination. Framing of the scene and composition of the shot are spot on. Colours looks unusually but very attractive. Kind regards and best wishes.
Alexei.

Witam Anne
Bardzo ładne motylki ciekawa kompozycja i notka.
Może jest trochę za mało kontrastu, można byłoby też trochę podostrzyć zdjęcie.

Hi Anne
Very nice peaceful image. Good sharpness, nice diagonal composition and perfect blured background. I think that you could work with levels a little bit and do a little noise reduction in background

Hello Anne,
Even a butterfly can have camouflaged colours. The soft light and colours are very beautiful. Excellent composition and POV.

Peter

Hi Anne. At first i onlt saw the one till i opened up the large picture. They blend in with the leaves so well. Your side view shows fine detial in the closed wings. Well done all with interesting notes too.
Nick..

Hallo Anne
What a couple of soft green butterflies busy mating. Beautiful to look at and pleasing to the eye. The combination of colours in your presentation is pretty and matches well with each other. You have shared a very nice moment with great composition and framing. The details of the paws and the antennas are sharp. A great macro with a beautiful blurred background. Thanks for sharing.
Enjoy your day.
Anna

To everything there is a season...it is one of my favorite passages...very nice with a superb natural backdrop. Fine image Anne.
