Hello Anne,

This is a beautiful "under color" butterfly. Is very well captured, the fact that the fund is composed of pure green foliage, brings out even more details of the insect. Very good lighting, excellent details, pose is classic and perfectly composed.

Regards & best wishes!

Bonsoir Anne,
An excellent capture of Erynnis tages, a species that i have not seen for some years now. BTW, when they rest at night they fold their wings downwards alongside the body.
+: Sharpness (perhaps a little too much), DOF, pose, POV, BG, composition, colours and lighting.
-: none
Merci et bon weekend,
Amicalement
Ivan

Ciao Anne,
una splendida macro di questo piccolo Esperiide ripreso con un'eccellente definizione e una magnifica luce, molto bella la composizione con la bella prospettiva e lo slancio verticale creato dalle foglie.
Grazie e complimenti
Buona domenica
Con amicizia
Maurizio

Hi Anne,
Beautiful close up.I liked POV,sharpness,details and framing a lot.Have a great Sunday!
Thanks for posting..

There is an unusual quality and I am wondering if that is the sun and angle or did your flash go off? Either way it seems to have brought out a texture which might add just enough to make it a winner:-)

hello Anne
this is a beautiful picture with good light
great composition sharpness ok and beautiful colours]
greeting lou

Hallo Anne
What a lovely display of beauty. The detail and colour is very tender. (Not sure if that is the right word), but looking at this image makes my heart weak. It is very soft on the eye and the butterfly almost looks fragile. The brown, almost shiny colour of the wings in contrast with the green leaves is really eye-catching. The fine hairs alongside the wings of the insect are striking and very obvious. Thanks for sharing. Best regards
Anna

Anne, wonderful picture and i think this is a butterfly that i have not seen before. The picture is sharp, to be honest on the higher side and there is noise, otherwise a good picture. I like those hairy texture of the wings

bonjour Anne
ce papillon n'est peut-être pas très coloré, mais il est tout de même très beau et tu as réussie à le capturer avec beaucoup de beaux details sur sesailes grandes ouvertes et sur les feuilles de l'avant-plan, magnifique couleurs et composition de l'image
Bonne soirée
Jacqueline
