For me this is a familiar butterfly which appears every year again at the place where I live in the mountains. Very elegant and friendly butterfly, in general the first to say hello :-)
I have noticed that they like to pose on white flowers, daisies or other white ones. On the picture the flower (unfortunately I don't know its name)looks like a cosy bed for the butterfly, but I took the shot at the beginning of the afternoon, so not really time to sleep!

Hallo Anne,
ein super Bild. Vielleicht beförzug er die weise Blumen, weil er auch weiss ist. So kann er besser unsichtbar machen.
Ich wünsche dir schönen und ruhigen Abend,
Adrian

Ciao Anne, splendid white on white, lovely macro with fine details and excellent sharpness, very well done, ciao Silvio

Slav Anne,

Bonjour Anne,

A shot defining purity and peaceful environment! Dominating white color is superb here and very pleasing indeed.
I like the black veins of the butterfly which stand out even more powerfully against the white flower and blurry BG. Simply an artisitic 'macro' shot which is not that easy to see on TN.
Very well done!

thanks and regards,
Paras

Ciao Anne,
bella immagine di questa farfalla, che personalmente ritengo una delle più belle Pieridi e che quest'anno ho fotografato più volte, ottimo punto di ripresa che evidenzia bene gli aspetti grafici e mostra molto bene anche le antenne della farfalla, grande ricchezza nelle sfumature e tonalità di bianchi, come sempre splendida composizione, forse ancor più armoniosa per l'assenza di luce diretta.
Grazie e complimenti
Buona giornata
Con amicizia
Maurizio

Hi Anne,

Black-veined white one of the most beautiful butterflies and it bring angles to my mind:) This female perched on an umbeliferan flower has characteristic semi-transparent wings and you show us this perfectly MF.
TFS and cheers,

Bayram

Hi,
White on white, very difficult but you almost pulled this one, only you could have added some more contrast to this otherwise beautiful. tfs.

Qué elegancia y que buena composición Anne !!
Pocas tonalidades pero efectivas y un buen enfoque al insecto. Una foto especial, con buena técnica y ... mucho arte.
Un abrazo: Josep Ignasi.

Hi Anne,
A very beautiful and sweet photo. Love the white on white composition and the beautiful delicate details. The nice soft light allowed for a shadowless composition. The shallow DOF even allowed the b'fly to be isolated from the flower. I really love your green color, a lot of shots have it too blue or to yellow.
TFS,
Niek

Bonsoir Anne,
Merci pour très belle prise de vue.
Et le ton sur ton est une grande réussite. j'aime beaucoup
Amicalement

Bonsoir Anne,
A beautiful delicate capture of 'Blanc sur blanc'
The position of the Black-veined White butterfly on the umbelliferous flower is just right to make this fine composition taken from a nice POV.
The white management is faultless and the sharpness and focusing just where needed.
A delight to see!

Merci et merci beaucoup pour tous amabilité en ma 600-ieme!
Amitiés,
Ivan

Almost white and white photo Anne! ;>
Nice title to this picture. Butterfly presented is from profile view, and it was done very nice. I like also composition and note :)
Greetings from Lodz,

Bonjour Anne !
J'avais vu ce papillon pendant mes vacances en montagne, en juin, ils sont vraiment magnifiques ! La fleur autant que le papillon sont très gracieux et élégants. J'aime beaucoup le blanc sur blanc, qui ressortent bien sur l'arrière-plan aux couleurs tendres. Excellents détails, merveilleuse composition, joli POV et belle pose du papillon. Félicitations !
Valérie.
