Salut Jean Jacques,
A warm welcome to TN.
A very beautiful composition you have here.
You captured the butterfly with perfect sharpness and exposure.
Fantastic point of view (POV) and gorgeous colors.
The position of the butterly amongst the purple flowers is very pleasing.
Excellent management of the depth of field (DOF).
Thank you for sharing (TFS). : )

Jean Jacques bonjour et bienvenue sur TN, c'est un bon passe temps pour les retraités et pour les autres!! Pour une premiére photo c'est une reussite. Le cadrage est bon ainsi que le piqué. Le flou des lavandes en arriére plan donne beaucoup de relief à cette photo. La petite touche de bleu a l'extrémité des ailes du papillon est la cerise sur le gateau "des lavandes"!! Dans ma liste des favorits et félicitations, Didier.

This is an excellent shot, with great sharpness and wonderful colours and detail, but it would have been even better with a few notes or a link to a website giving details about what you have photographed.

Hello Jean Jacques,

Welcome to TN! This is a nice place where you can learn a lot about photography and view a lot of beautiful pictures. Enjoy it!
Excellent picture of a superb Swallowtail! The scientific name of this delicate butterfly is Papilio machaon. I posted some pictures of this species on TN where you can find notes and links. Great colors and contrast! Perfect exposure and DOF! The butterfly is very sharp and stands out from the defocused BG! A great work of art! Thank you!

Regards,
Eddie

Fantastic photo of this beautifull butterfly. Swallowtail is sharp, detailed and colorfull. Composition with many flowers is splendid! Blurred blue spots on background add some dynamic to your picture. I like it very much!

Hello Jean-Jacques,
that swallowtail in excellent pose is definitely a very good starter. Well focussed, and well set off against a very beautiful background of contrasting blue lavender in a delightfully dynamic rhythmic pattern.
Welcome to TN, and thank you!
