POLYOMMATUS CORIDON FEMALE

Chalkhill Blue
Slbergrüner Bläuling
L'Argus bleu nacré

The Lycaenidae-butterfly is sitting on a button of a Knautia-flower
This picture had been taken last summer. I had shown it already on TN, but because my screen was damaged, I couldn't see the picture correctely and I had made some changes which were very bad. I deleted the picture as soon I had seen it on another screen.
So, this is my second try. I hope it's a little better.

Merci pour vos encouragements. J'ai choisi de ne présenter sur ce site que des fotos de fleurs encadrée et principalement de l'île de la Réunion dans un premier temps.J'epère bien me faire un nom, non! je rigole, c'est pas le but
Au plaisir

Hallo Anne
This is once again one of those images that have that overwhelming attraction to the eye. This is in my opinion also a PPP- Pretty perfect picture. The type that one would like to print, frame and hang onto your wall. The flower on which the butterfly is resting on is beautiful and colourful, and it enhances the soft colours of this lovely butterfly to a great extent. I enjoyed this one. Thanks for this contribution. A well deserved 10/10.
Best Regards

Hi Anne,

Hi Anne.
Wonderful close-up picture. Details f the bud and butterfly are incredible. Superb DOF and sharpness. BG is also great. It underlines the sharpness of the main subject perfectly. I like a bit unusual and very attractive colour palette. Bravo. Perfect job.

Hello Anne,
Flower and butterfly are both very beautiful. The matching colours are wonderful against the OOF BG. Great sharp details and a very good composition.

Peter

Bonjour Anne,
This beautiful butterfly is perfectly composed and the depth is also perfect as the tiniest of details are easily seen. The flower's buds are also perfect at F 10 ;
Well Captured, and Have A Great Weekend from D & S...

bonjour Anne
Cette photo est vraiment belle, les détails de l'Argus bleu nacré et de la fleur sont stupéfiants, superb pose
ce qui me plait surtout, c'est que le papillon et la knautia sont dans la lumière et l'arrière-plan semble dans l'ombre ce qui fait un effet un peu dramatique comme avant un orage
Passe une bonne nuit
Jacqueline

First of all, thanks a lot for your kind words on my 900th picture on TN, Anne.
My first impression of this picture is that it is once again a highly aesthetical presentation in 800x800 format. The format suits the content, which, in itself, is exquisite. The dainty Chalkhill Blue and Knautia flower seem to have been made for each other.
Despite its big size, the picture is pin sharp.
Your choice of colour settings on your professional 30D is unique and it comes out beautifully in each of your pictures.
Thanks for sharing yet another of your distinguished nature images and warm regards.
Ram

Hi Anne
Beatiful image.
Great details and great colors.
Congratulations!

So sorry for missing this beauty Anne...I have beren busier than ever which is good for me but not for others perhaps...

This is a wonderful and attractive image..the perch is almost a cousin in colours and patterns...and this has a mood to it..not sure what it is...not olive drab but more of an earthy overall quality. Well seen!
