Hi Anne

Stunning shot of the Titania's Fritillary Butterfly
Very nicely composed with a excellent POV and a lovely pose.
Nice crisp detail and a great DOF.
Beautiful colours too.

Hello Anne,
This is a lovely view of the underside of Boloria titania, a butterfly we unfortunately don't see here. It looks very elegant on the Daisy. Excellent sharp details and lovely colours too. I like the background which makes it really stand out. Well done!
Many thanks and best wishes, Ulla

Hallo Anne!

Aha, du warst wieder mal "oben". Recht hattest du, dein nach Hause gebrachtes Bild ist auch gar schön. Dieses Mal finde ich auch die globale Belichtung prima, aber die Blüte ist ein wenig überbelichtet. Der Bildaufbau mit der Margerite gefällt.

Grüessli

Hi Anne,
Exellent composition with a very good BG.

Gert

Muchas gracias por tu halago Anne, aunque mi galería es algo inferior ala tuya en belleza... pero lo intento :-) tal como nos muestras en este tu último trabajo.

Bonsoir Anne,
Je suis content de revoir ce Boloria titania que j'avais beaucoup apprécié ouvert sur les fleurs oranges. Le dessous des ailes est très joliment ornementé et réhausse la composition, où l'inflorescence parait légérement surexposée. Image très fine et délicate, comme toujours.
Amicalement

Hi Anne,

This Fritillary looks very good, POV and details are great. Blurred BG gives stunning look for this pretty butterfly seated on white flower.DOF and composition are too good.

Thanks for sharing

Hello my friend Anne,
Wonderful sharing of this great image of butterfly

well done
greeting

Liebe Anne,
gratuliere zur Titania! An ihre wunderschöne Flügelunterseite heranzukommen versuche ich schon seit langem, aber noch nie ist mir bei der seltenen Dame so ein perfekter "Blattschuss" geglückt.
Die überbelichteten weissen Blütenblätter der Margerite liessen sich bei den Originaldaten in Photoshop durch Auswahl der weißen Flächen mit dem "Zauberstab" (magic wand) und selektive Abdunkelung mit Kontrastvergrößerung vermutlich gut behandeln.
Schönes Bild des Sommers in den Alpen, in die nach Regen und Schnee bald wieder der Sonnenschein einkehren wird.
Liebe Grüße aus Wien, wo ich bei strömendem Regen gerade "überwintere" und die Ruhe geniesse,
Peter

Ciao Anne,
bellissima macro che non avevo visto, splendida composizione con un ottimo OOF BG dai colori delicati che mette in risalto questa bellissima farfalla, POV nitidezza e posa sul fiore creano un effetto tridimensionale.
Grazie e complimenti.
