Bonjour Anne,
Unusual to see H. semele hiding in the grass and here it was trying to be unnoticeable while drinking dew drops or neutrients on a leaf.
Nicely captured from a low POV with excellent sharpness, lighting and colours with good contrast against the grass.
Merci, bonne soirée et bon weekend,
Amitiés,
Ivan

Anne

Hello Anne,
Very beautiful coloured photo and a butterfly in great and beautiful patterns. Very nice pose, DOF and composition.
Have a great weekend,
Peter

I think I have just exactly the same species shot in the Himalayas last year, Anne. I will post it one of these days.
My subject too is on the ground in a forested area.
You seem to have bent down to ground level while taking this shot; the view is almost eye level.
The image is sharp and without colour exaggeration -- a strong feature of your nature imagery.
Thanks and regards.

Hi Anne,
what a close up. you have depicted its beauty with the sharpness and detailed texture and colours of the wings.
Excellent composition among the grass.

regards,
Foozi

Ciao Anne,
una macro dalla straordinaria definizione dei dettagli, si può apprezzare ogni singola squama, ottimo punto di ripresa e grande ricchezza di sfumature nei colori per evidenziare le caratteristiche mimetiche delle ali, anche se l'inusuale posa in mezzo all'erba rende inutile tale prerogativa, splendida composizione.
Grazie e complimenti
Buona serata e buona domenica
Con amicizia
Maurizio

bonjour Anne
magnifique image de ce Agreste, ses couleurs neutres n'étaient sûrement pas été très visible dans l'herbe pourtant j'aime bien toutes les variations de bruns de ses ailes
la netteté est superbe, la luminosité est les couleurs sont excellents
Passe une bonne nuit
Jacqueline
