VANESSA CARDUI

Painted Lady
Distelfalter
Vanesse du chardon

As days become shorter and the sun less warm, butterflies and other insects are disappearing peu à peu from our surrounding.
The Queen of the year, Vanessa cardui too. This one was the last one I saw this year. It was in the garden of my neighbour and I had to take the picture against the light. That explains this black background.
We expect you next year again, little butterflies..

Fantastic lighting.Lovely scene.

Hallo Anne
This is such a warm and inviting image. The colours are vivid and bright, just as the atmosphere you have captured here. The patterns and markings is wonderfully displayed. I just love the way it looks like a hand holding the butterfly in the air. Great viewing pleasure. Thanks for sharing. Best regards
Anna

Excellent photo, congratulations!

Mein Gott! This is highly dramatic, Anne. The Painted Lady is in the spot-light. How did you pull this off??
The frontal capture and that too from a low perspective gives this picture a unique quality in terms of perspective.
The wings seem to be filtering the light coming from the rear.
And your very distinct flowers; they never fail to draw my attention.
Great work!
Thanks and regards.

Hello Anne! Amazing butterfly, excellent background. Nice light and bright, good sharp, very good contrast. Original shot. Well done!

Hello Anne,
mda, ich bin in Wien bei Chris und über Wochenende sind wir in die Czechei gefahren. Du kennst mich schon. Wenn ich indgerwo bin, dann will ich so viel wie möglich unternehmen.
Es scheint so, dass auch unsere schöne Schmmeterlinge gehen. Und du hast nicht die Möglichkeit gehen lassen ohne diese super letzte Darstellung zu fotografieren. Auch dieser BG ist sehr schön im Vergleich mit diesen wunderschönen Farben.
Ich wünsche dir einen schönen Tag,
Adrian

Hello Anne,
Yes this is also the last one I can give any points for today. And it deserves it. The light in the flowers and butterfly is so amazing! Together with the dark BG it forms a splendid beauty of a photo. Excellent sharp details and choice of composition.
Regards,
Peter

Bravo!

HI Anne,
das Licht hier ist einmalig schön wie es die zarten Flügel und Blüten durchscheint, ich liebe auch den Blickkontakt des Schmetterlings, einfach super, herzlichen Dank - auch wenn es mich ein wenig wehmütig macht - kommt doch gleich der Gedanke in mir, dass der Sommer vorbei ist und wir uns lange gedulden müssen, bis wir diesen Augenschmaus wieder vor uns haben.

Liebe Grüße

Hi anne,
another perfect shot to look at. so attractive and captivating with the dark background pushing the flowers and the butterfly into the world of beauty and fascination.
nice presentation as the effect of the light is so brilliant.
Wonderful nature view.

Hallo Anne!

Wow, was für ein Bild! Der Gegenlichteffekt ist genial, der schwarze Hintergrund hebt die Schönheit der Blume und des Schmetterlings besonders gut hervor. Zudem sind die Farben ganz einfach herrlich.

Grüessli

Markus

Ciao Anne,
un contrasto di luci e colori fantastico in cui le ali della farfalla con le loro trasparenze colorate mi ricordano le bellissime vetrate delle chiese illuminate dal sole, anche la mia A. niobe in controluce mi dà questa sensazione, ma nella tua immagine lo sfondo scuro esalta la luminosità, mi piacciono moltisimo anche i fiori che sembrano ondeggiare e creano un'armoniosa "leggerezza".
Grazie e complimenti
Buona serata e buona domenica
Con amicizia
Maurizio

magnifica presa controluce della Vanessa cardui catturata in una bella composizione su sfondo scuro
ottimo insieme bene gestito
buona domenica,Anne!

Bonjour Anne,
What a superb use of light!
The Painted Lady butterfly and the Aster flowers look fantastic against the resulting almost black BG in fine sharpness and set in a pleasing composition.
Our darkness is with us but we look forward to lighter times again!
Merci et bonne soirée,
Amitiés,
Ivan

Liebe Anne,
Gegenlichtaufnahme eines Distelfalters auf Kompositenblüten, wie sie eindrucksvoller und symbolträchtiger kaum denkbar ist. Ein Sinnbild des Abschieds und der Vorfreude von bleibender Schönheit, weit über die - in höchster Präzision gelungene - Dokumentation eines einsamen Wanderfalters im weit fortgeschrittenenen kühlen Herbst hinaus berührend.
Mit Dank und herzlichen Grüssen,
Peter

Magnifica.

Impresionante trabajo con la luz Anne y respetando además la realidad de los colores.
Un contraluz soberbio desde un difícil y bien ejecutado ángulo: enhorabuena!
Un saludo y buena semana: Josep Ignasi.

Hi Anne
