PIERIS RAPAE (Linnaeus, 1758)

Small White
Kleiner Kohlweissling
Piéride du chou

This White butterfly is probably the most commun butterfly we have in Europe. And amazingly I found out that I never have shown it until now. So it was time also for him. I have presented about 50 different species from my region and I have still some others waiting in my archives :-)- I just hope you don't get bored.

Hi Anne
Nice shot of P. rapae taken on sunny day. Good exposure in quite strong sun. Good sharpness. I like composition but maybe you could crop it a little bit from the bottom

Hi Anne. It may be a common butterfly but its stil a beautiful one. Which you have taken with fine detail and colours. It stands out well against the dark BG on the yellow flower. well done TFS.

Bonsoir Anne,

Très belle composition avec cet arrière-plan foncé qui permet un excellent contraste avec ce piéride et le pissenlit. Excellente netteté, très bonne exposition. Le soleil permet de voir tous les détails des ailes en transparence.
Bonne soirée,
Mariki

Helo Anne,

Your, with thsi special light, is very nice. It seems flower has a light of its own glowing in the dark. Butterfly is very nice shown beeing in focus and fine details are sharply visible.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

Hola Anne,
estupendo trabajo,
bella macro y bg.
selecto color y detalles...
saludos amiga.

Brava Anne to know so well manage the light,why the white wings of Pieris are
always overexposed compared to the rest of the photo... excellent atmosphere and details

cheers sERGIO

Really? the most common and yet it appears in image as glorious..I suspect it is the high contrasts between yellow and black along and almost overshadow...but not..I tend to look at the image as a whole...

Hello Anne,
The dark bg really makes the subject and flower really outstanding!

well done
cheers
Tony

Just the bare essentials here -- the subject and a flower for it to perch on.
This again speaks of the essence of your nature photography, Anne.
Composition is of utmost priority for you and you excel in it.
The White butterfly and the yellow flower exude a lot of synergy in this beautiful image.
Well done and all the best.

Hi Anne, great capture of beautiful Pieris with fantastic light and fine details, very well done, ciao Silvio

Ciao Anne,
bellissima cattura di questa cavolaia minore, molto bello il contrasto dei colori su BG scuro, molto buona la nitidezza, ottimi POV e controluce che permettono di apprezzare entrambi i lati delle ali.
TFS.

Hallo nochmals, Anne,

der "gewöhnliche" Weissling gefällt mir gut, Anne. Für Dich untypisch (aber erfolgreich) ist der Einsatz starker Kontraste und Gegenlicht.

Herzlich grüsst
Dieter

Hello Anne, this is a beautiful and delicate shot.
The Small White has lovely colour tones. You managed a great catch with sharp focus, good exposure and very well composed.
Great work.
TFS
