POLYOMMATUS CORIDON FEMALE

Chalkhill Blue
Silbergrüner Bläuling
L'Argus bleu nacré

Family: Lycaendae
Sub-family: Polyommatinae
Size: 30-35mm

Here the female with wings closed. I have already presented once the same female (not the same picture), which I deleted, having had some PC-screen problems. The quality was too bad and I would like to show it again, I hope with a better picture.
Females have not blue upperwings, like the males, but brown ones with orange little dots on the edge.

Hello Anne,
Beautiful butterfly. Good aspect ratio; a square. It generates a nice compo.
Well done

Hello Anne,
A pleasing close macro of a female P. coridon in closed-wing POV. The lighting is superb and the composition suitable with a BG that allows the buttefly to stand out.
It's years since I have seen this species and I enjoy being remindesd of it by a fine image such as this.
Thanks, and have a good weekend,
Ivan

Hallo Anne!

Köstlich, wir sind Nachbarn!

Dein Bläuling ist wunderbar. Die einfache und einheitliche Farbgebung des Bildes macht es äusserst interessant und angenehm zum Betrachten. Tatsächlich ist diese Version deutlich besser! Ein guter Computer ist halt was...

:-)

Grüessli

Hello Anne,
This is a lovely close-up of the female Chalkhill Blue showing the beautiful pattern of the underside. I like its pose on the flower too and the background is a beautiful soft green.
Many thanks, Ulla

Liebe Anne,
wo gibt's hier ein Problem? Das corydon-Weibchen ist scharf und in seinen wunderschönen natürlichen
Farben und Nuancen dargestellt. Die Blüte passt farblich einwandfrei dazu und erscheint
aufgrund des einfallenden Lichts räumlich.
Danke für das Bild des weiblichen Falters, der nicht so häufig präsentiert wird.
Schöne Grüße, Peter
P.S: Ich bin immer noch fasziniert von der Walliser Landschaft und der dortigen Insektenwelt. Jeden Abend 'bade' ich in meinen Fotos.

I was just speaking of special touches to another and here is a perfect example of your technique and how perhaps I could pick out one of your images...I am sure it is on the tonality or the contrast ballpark somewhere..There is a special combination of the two which adds to flavor...Very well composed in the frame...

Ciao Anne,
meravigliosa composizione per questa piccola e bella farfalla, splendide le tonalità delicate dei colori che solo la natura riesce a darci, ma che hai colto per noi con straordinaria maestria, ottima definizione e stupendo BG.
TFS. Maurizio

Bojour Anne
J'ai vu aujourd'hui uns de de celles-ci en TN, ils paraissent être communs en Europe. Il se ressemble un peu à certaines Lycaenidae argentines, mais celle-ci a davantage de taches noires dans les ailes, est très jolie. La composition est bien obtenue, agréable et est équilibrée très bien. Il paraît avoir bonne définition, mais qu'il pourrait avoir perdue dans la réduction de la taille, de toute façon est quelque chose petit et il n'affecte pas beaucoup.
Amitiés
Hernán

Hi Anne.
Wonderful shot of a very cute plant and its visitor. Great POV and composition of an image. Superb DOF. Details and sharpness of the butterfly and plant are ultimate. We can see every tiny hair. Smooth BG is so fine as main subject. Excellent job. TFS and best regards.
Alexei.

Hola Anne, buen macro, nitidez y suaves tonos de color con muy buena luz. Un saludo

Hi Anel
I'm not so very clued up with all the technical stuff, but the colours on this photo surely blends in beautifully!! Good shot.

Once again a beautiful composition from you. I like a lot the contrasting foreground and background in your shots. The details and especially the hair on both the flower and the insect are marvelous.

Bonjour Anne
Une très belle capture de ce papillon, bonne netteté, couleurs et cadrage. Très belle lumière.
Amicalement Robi

Hola Anne,
Magnífica captura de esta bella mariposa que nos muestras con gran nitidez y mucho detalle, bonita luz y fondo, saludos
José Ramón

Creo que la toma puede mejorar en algunos aspectos, aunque destaca a mi gusto el buen juego creado con los colores oliva, blanquecinos, ocres ... que son realmente delicados.
Un abrazo Anne: Josep Ignasi Tejedor.

An excellent macro. Very impressive details. Well done.
Best wishes,
Achim
