VANESSA ATALANTA

Red Admiral
Admiral
Vulcain

This migratory butterfly of the Nymphalidae family is with its wingspan of 50-65mm one of of the larger butterflies we have in Europe. But the Red Admiral lives also in N'Africa, Asia and N'Amercica. It is therefore widespread and common.
This year it seems to be quite rarer as usual and I wonder if they still will arrive in greater number or if this is just a natural fluctuation of the Admiral-population.
I had the chance to see this specimen yesterday..it was nice enough to circle over my head before posing close to me. Un grand merci à ce Vulcain.

Bonjour Anne,
Nous sommes voisins aujourd'hui!
A fine peaceful capture of a nice freah specimen of Red Admiral. The semi dorsal POV is taken with technical excellence and it is well composed against a very pleasing light OOF natural BG.
Merci et bonne soirée,
Amitiés,
Ivan

Ciao Anne,
bellissima immagine di Vanessa atalanta, una farfalla molto bella di cui però non è facile restituire la straordinaria bellezza di colori vellutati superiormente e marmorizzati inferiormente, tu sei riuscita molto bene e soprattutto in una piacevolissima, armonisosa e "leggera" composizione.
Grazie e complimenti
Buona serata
Con amicizia
Maurizio

Hello Anne,
A wonderful view of the Red Admiral against a beautiful background. Great focus and I love the colours in your composition! This species has not been as commonly seen here as usual either - let's hope there'll be more next summer!
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

Hi Anne. I have not seen many Red Admiral butterflies this year. You were able to get a good top view of this beauty. Which lets us see the open wing markings. Taken with good detail and natural colours. It stands out well from the out of focus BG. well taken TFS,

Hi Anne,
How are you? This is an good picture, love the placement of the butterfly in the frame but i still feel that the space below could have been reduced a bit.

Hi Anne,
I like this arresting colours that stands out wonderfullt from the blurry background.
The dark wings and the intensity of the colours are indded very brilliant.
What I appreciate most is the BW stripes on the antenna.
Nicely composed shot.

Hi Anne

Fantastic shot of the admiral. Good diagonal composition. Good DOF and sharpness.

Anne, bonsoir.

Bravo pour cette photographie de Vanessa atlanta.

Très belle composition et point de vue très attractif pour contempler ce magnifique papillon. La netteté est excellente, si bien que l'on peut apprécier de nombreux détails. L'exposition est parfaite, les couleurs réalistes et très vives.

Merci de nous avoir présenté ce papillon, délicatement posé sur une fragile feuille.

Bonne soirée et à bientôt pour d'autres photographies

Philippe.
