ANTHOCHARIS CARDAMINES
Orange Tip
Aurorafalter
Aurore

Family: Pieridae
Wingspan: ca 5cm

This buttefly can be easily recognized by the orange forewings of the male, colour he can hide and show so only its mottled green and white underside, which is also a perfect camouflage. Here we have a male specimen, which I noticed when he flew away.
The female lays eggs on the Cockooflower and other specis of Crucifers.

Hola Anne,

buen foco y color...(pix.bg)

Hello Anne
I am having my first season of butterfly captures and the Orange Tip is one I have seen but not captured..
That said your details here are perfect..The whole scene with the sharpness and lovely subtle colours set against a stunning BG is so inspiring.
Best Regards
Paul

Bonjour Anne,
C'est une jolie image très vivante. J'apprécie les détails, sur le papillon, comms sur le Rumex qui l'accueille. La lumière sur l'insecte est magnifique et l'image réhaussée par un très bel arrière plan.
Amicalement
Hervé

Hi Anne,

Hello Anel,
It was only last summer that I really realized how beautiful the underside of the Orange Tip is! This is a wonderful composition in lovely soft green colours showing the butterfly sharply in focus. Fine sharp details and very nicely framed.
Many thanks, Ulla

Hi Anne,
Wonderful shot of this tiny but beautiful Orange Tip. Immaculate sharpness and lovely colours. I like the way the markings on its wings match the tiny flowers. Superb lighting and exposure and a fine pose captured here. Excellent DOF, POV and composition. Kudos.

Delight capture, Anne.
The plant and the butterfly go very well with each other in terms of their colours and even designs.
Very artistic composition with a fine neutral BG.

Coucou,
Mais elle en a de la chance Anne dans son beau pays. Une belle rencontre immortalisée sur TN. J'adore l'Aurore mais je n'ai réussi qu'un clihé modeste de lui pour l'instant.
Ici il a une belle pose, et il ressort nettement du fond flou. Par contre je vois un drôle d'effet dans le dégradé vert.
Bravo chère amie,
Christian

Bonsoir Anne,

Une superbe composition très fine et élégante. Très bon angle de vue et très bonne netteté. J'aime beaucoup les couleurs.
Bonne soirée,
Mariki

Merci pour cet 'Aurore' , Anne.
Ta photo montre bien le coté duveteux du bord des ailes.
Bravo amicalement
Laurent

Hello Anne,
This is an elegant image, where the delicate butterfly is visiting an equally delicate flower!
Well captured with sharp fine details, the subject(s) stand out well on the blurry background...

I also like to take this opportunity to thank you for support and advice!
It has been great and I have learned a lot through the many fine presentations in TrekNature!
