Bonsoir Roy,
Belle compo ! J'aime beaucoup et l'angle est inhabituel
J'aime moins l'herbe blanche en bas à gauche qui détourne l'attention du sujet et n'apporte rien de plus à la compo (ce n'est que mon avis !)

Hello Roy
beautiful shot, very well captured in motion.
Perfectly focussed, and exposure well managed - very good details even in the darkest parts of wing.
Beautiful soft distant background. And I like the well balanced composition with a good feeling for the need of open space. Precise, well informing notes.
An excellent contribution.
Thank you! Best regards,
Peter

Welcome to TN!

Hermosa imagen, bellos colores muy bien captados. Saludos, JL

Hi Roy

A lovely shot of the Eastern Black Swallowtail. I see motion blur on the right wing which is to be expected as these little fellas don't stay still for long. The colours are lovely and the OOF BG(out of focus background) enhances the image nicely although I would be tempted to clone out the white on the bottom left. Nice work. TFS.
