At first a big Thank you to all of you to have given me such a great echo to my latest picture. I couldn't believe it !


ARGYNNIS AGLAJA (Linnaeus, 1758)

Dark Green Fritillary
Grosser Perlmutterfalter
Grand nacré

This middle-sized butterfly (50-55mm)from the Nymphalidae family is one of the beautiful butterflies we can see on our alpine meadows. They are not too shy and can been photographed without too many difficulties. In general they pose on red clover or other red and purple flowers. On this picture it has chosen a Cirsium vulgare (Spear Thistle) which makes an interesting color-contrast.

I would like to dedicate this picture to one of our best butterfly-photographers, Maurizio dalla Via (maurydv) to thank him for all his magnificent pictures, always accompanied by an excellent note. Un grand merci Maurizio.

Hello Anne,
A fine capture of A. aglaja taken from a very good POV to show the half open wings with excellent sharpness and details of both surfaces against a pleasing neutral BG. The composition with the thistle flower and the grass seed-head is well thought out too.
Thanks and best wishes,
Ivan

Hello Anne
bellissima Argynnis aglaja ottimamente ripresa in tutto il suo splendore. La messa a fuoco è ottima e grazie ad essa si riesce ad apprezzarne a pieno la bellezza dei suoi bellissimi colori tenui e dei suoi dettagli. Eccellente la gestione della luce che con un interessante gioco di luci ed ombre mette in risalto la piccola farfalla posata sul fiore dai bellissimi colori delicati sull'ottimo sfondo sfocato.

Hi Anne,
you have been shooting beautiful butterflies. They are very retty and you always present it in a very special and interesting manner. Leave alone your skills, it is excellent.
I like to see varieties of butterflies and its is really difficult at my place.

Foozi

Ciao Anne,
un'altra splendida immagine di aglaja, una farfalla che ho fotografato spesso anch'io quest'anno, mi piace molto la composizione con un punto di ripresa leggermente più basso per esaltare le caratteristiche peculiari della parte inferiore dell'ala posteriore e il dinamismo creato dallo stelo d'erba in contrapposizione al "movimento" delle ali, ottima definizione e bellissimi colori con uno sfondo delicato.
Grazie e complimenti.
Buon fine settimana
Con amicizia
Maurizio

Liebe Anne,
im hohen Gras des heurigen feuchten Sommers steht uns Falterjägern mit der Kamera fast stets ein Grashalm störrisch im Visier. Aus der Not wird Tugend, wenn Du den Grashalm so vollendet in die Komposition rückst, dass er aus dem Ikebana gar nicht wegzudenken ist. Agalaj im Streiflicht erfrischend getroffen!
Mit Dank und herzlichen Grüßen,
Peter
