POLYOMMATUS SEMIARGUS

We still have so rainy weather, that I had again a look into my archives.
This picture taken last Summer shows I think Polyommatus semiargus female (Mazarine Blue, Violetter Waldbläuling) a butterfly from the Lycaenidae-family.
It is sitting on a Geranium pratense, which is not rare in June. If you have a look at the second flower you will see another Lycaenidae butterfly, just on the point to fly away.

Bonjour Anne,
A fine capture, both of the Geranium pratense flowers and the female P. semiargus, the white edges of the wings making a perfect outline of this fresh specimen against the dark Bg. The sharpness, DOF and composition make this a delightful choice from your archives.
Thanks for sharing this fine summer image. Our spring is cold, late and the overwintering butterflies have not appeared yet.
Bon weekend,
Amitiés,
Ivan

Very beautiful, Anne.
Splendid clear colours in this photo. Special are the white edges on the wings of the butterfly. Excellent sharp details and OOF BG. Very good composition.
Regards,
Peter

Anne, Lovely shot with superb details. The shot is brilliant and what a lovely color tone. Ganesh

Ciao Anne,
splendida composizione per questa bellissima P. semiargus, mi piace molto la posa della farfalla nella prospettiva diagonale creata dai fiori, eccellente definizione e magnifici colori, un'immagine dal "tocco" delicato.

Buona settimana

Hallo Anne!

Regentage haben auch ihren Wert: sie erlauben uns, vergessene Schönheiten in unseren Archiven auszugraben. Dein Bild gefällt mir sehr, vor allem wegen seiner Schlichtheit. Die Farben sind sehr natürlich, und ich finde es sehr gut, dass der Schmetterling im Verhältnis zu seiner Grösse im Bild erscheint.

As Grüessli

P.S. Es hat mich sehr gefreut, Deine Familie kennenzulernen!

Markus

Hello Anne.

Excellent picture, nice composition and colors.

Regards.
Jose Luis.

Dear Anne,
Beautiful photo with the Geraniums and b-flies. A mysterious image: difficult to describe if the flower's the main theme of the pic or the b-fly - but it doesn't look small, so I disagree with the crop of the WS, it kills the great composition of the original image. I prefer Your version, although a little more contrast should do and there's a slight bg noise (but a little indeed). But the composition itself is absolutely excellent, congrats and tfs.
Best regards from Hungary, László
