Hi Ivan,
Very lovely capture of the butterfly. Hope you didn't bruise her ego by telling her she was your second choice ;-) Nicely composed with fine detail and color.

Hola Ivan, veo que tu cámara ( y la mia ) no descansan jajaja.
Buen enfoque a pear de haber hecho el disparo desde tan lejos, aunque el objetivo que usas supongo que es tremendo. Tus explicaciones son interesantes para un simple aficionado como yo.
Un saludo y buen Domingo.

It is an unusual occurance to find a White with its wings fully open, Ivan. You must have utilized the split second action at lightening speed to capture this view.
It is a pleasure to see the subtle shades and spots on its open wings.
Thanks for sharing and all the best.

Hi Ivan
To tell you the truth I must admit that dont have any evene pretty good shot of Pieris. I dont know why :-) That is why I envy you this nice image of Pieris rapae :-) The most important thing here is the composition and visibility of diagnostic features. Also good OOF buckground
Best wishes

Ivan,
I would have been trying for the butterfly, but taken the whitethroat to vent my frustration! Good notes, and a nice study of the female wing. Thanks

Hi Ivan!

Good image of this very common butterfly. I don't know why, but this insect is hard to capture - it always moves too fast :-) Good composition of colours, 3D effect, details on wing. Nice work!

Hi Ivan,
a pretty one with good sharpness, I like the this beauty.
I had not much luck with butterflies this year, we had not many of them and special these ones were so hectic and never sat down for a longer time.
Thanks and greetings

Very well-handled whites, Ivan!
the shallow dof is admittedly a bit distracting (but necessary as it sometimes is), but I love the composition and colours.
Superb notes too

Hello Ivan,
These whites seem to be very numerous at the moment. But very active too. Not too easy to catch them. Beautiful and simple diagonal composition. Thanks also for the excellent note!
Bonne journée

Hello Ivan,
This is so interesting! I would like to be able to identify insects or animal’s species like you do :) This is a lovely female that you capture with excellent exposure, nice details in a beautiful composition and environment. We have similar ones here as well and they are fast moving creatures that don't stay in place too long... Thanks,
Claudine

Hello Ivan,
pretty, well composed portrait of a female white. I love the well managed exposure resulting in very subtle, well detailed shades of colours in the white surface of wings.
Thank you! With best regards,
Peter

Hello Ivan.
The closest that I could get to this beauty around my backyard is the Psyche. To me, white butterfly stands out well against the green surrounding. This is a fine capture with spreading wings exposing the well defined wings markings. Nice light and pleasing diagonal framing.
Thanks and have a wonderful weekend.
