Salut Anne,
A great summery capture of B. titania on the flowers of Orange Hawkweed. The technical features are first class and the POV is excellent showing the open wings with the white edges almost shining against the dark natural OOF BG.
A joy to see!
Merci beaucoup pour le partage,
Bonne soirée,
Ivan

Hi Anne.
I am impressed with beautifulness of the pictured scene. Flower and butterfly pattern is amazing. Your DOF is great. Sharpness and details of the butterfly and all flowers are ultimate. BG, its colouration and smoothness are superb. My compliments and TFS.

The flowers and butterfly make a perfect combination. Isn't it nice at times when nature becomes so artistic and you just happen to be there to take the picture. A real sweet scene!

Hola Anne, me gusta la composición, la toma la veo con buen color, nitida y con buena luz. Un saludo

Liebe Anne,
wie schön, diesen beiden kongenialen Schönheiten von Falter und Pflanze auch in diesem Jahr wieder zu begegnen. Da spätnachts: nur kurze Worte des Lobs und des Danks für deine stilvoll verhaltene Präsentation.
Mit herzlichen Grüßen,
Peter

Hallo Anne!

Ich denke, dies ist ebenfalls ein Resultat unseres Weekends. Der Aufbau des Bildes ist gut, aber es fehlt an Licht und Punch. Ich bin auch die letzten Bilder durchgegangen, wo ich das gleiche feststellen muss.

Anne, du brauchst ein gutes Bildbearbeitungsprogramm, das du lernst zu beherrschen. Vielleicht ist das Bild auch bereits zu dunkel aufgenommen worden...

Ich bin erstaunt, dass nur ein Besucher vom gleichen Problem spricht.

Dies ändert aber nichts an der Tatsache, dass das Bild schön ist und der Schmetterling in seiner vollen Pracht erscheint.

Grüessli

Markus

Hola Anne,
Preciosa composición donde rivalizan en belleza la flor y la mariposa, magníficos detalles, nitidez y color. TFS. Saludos

Hallo Anne,
da ist mir etwas entgangen. Ich war in Graubünden und an der Uni, aber nicht in Deiner Gallerie. Es ist gut, dass Du das Bild auf TN montierst, jetzt lerne ich etwas. Ich habe wohl auf der gleichen Blume die gleiche Falterart photographiert, aber welcher Unterschied in der Komposition! Raffiniert: eigentlich konkurrenzieren sich die Farben des Falters und der Hieracium-Blüten, aber sie tun es irgendwie gerade nicht. Toll gemacht, typisch Anne!
Beste Grüsse und eine schöne Woche
Dieter

Bonjour Anne,
c'est une splendide image, bien équilibrée, avec une composition diagonale intéressante et un trčs bel accord de couleurs. L'arričre plan est parfaitement complémentaire et dans cet ensemble, le regard est attiré par la marge blanche des ailes du papillon. Boloria titania et Hieracium aurantiacum (pas tout ŕ fait sur...) étaient faits pour se rencontrer.
Amicalement
Hervé

Hi Anne,
Outstanding shot of this beautiful butterfly among those charming flowers. Lovely colours and details and you have captured the buterfly in a fine pose. Superb handling of lighting and exposure and I like your top POV to portray it. Very nicely composed. Kudos.
TFS.

Hallo Anne
Due to the fact that I have been ill, I just could not give my comments to some of the lovely images that appeared and past me by on the gallery. Now I have such a lot of catching up to do so please pardon me for only saying……………………
Splendid image. It is indeed a feast to the eye and it did not go unnoticed. You have captured such a lovely display of autumn-all in one image. Beautiful warm colours.
Best regards
Anna

It is an attractive image all over Anne. Like a pretty bouquet and the butterfly is a special addition. I would have cropped around the flowers myself, but you still do show it really well

Hi Anel
I cannot decide which is prettiest - the butterfly or the flowers.
This is a beautiful photo with a lot of detail.

Betsie

Quelle jolie combination! La netteté est parfaite, et le papillon in a pose spectaculaire. Bien encadré.

The aesthetic usage of light and the composition make this shot one of your masterpieces Dear Anne! I think a little bit more sharpness could be just wonderful!
Excellent photo.

Hello Anne,
a lovely shot of the butterfly asnd the flower it perches on. Lovely point of shooting and great dark blurry background behind. a very well composed shot with the creature at the third of the frame. Very interesting pattern also.
