Hello Laurent, this is a lovely Butterfly and you present it very well. It is nice to see the pretty wings markings and colour on both sides. Well saturated blues and clear and sharp markings, the antennai is pin sharp!. Great dof and a lovely composition.

Hello Laurent,
this is a nice close-up of Polyommatus bellargus (recognized among ofhter characters by the brilliant blue wing colour). Exact focus on head, body and antennae. Suitable depth of field shows us both the wing upperside and underside pattern with pretty good sharpness.
Best wishes, Peter
P.S. What happened that you state that you "have not grown or elevated" the butteerfly?

Hello Laurent
What a beautiful capture of this lovely blue! I like also very much the Carline Thistle upon which the butterfly rest. Excellent sharpness and very beautiful composition. Only I thought the pic was a bit dull of color, and I made an autocolor with Photoshop to see the result. I hope you don't mind if i put it as a workshop.
My very best regards
Maite

Hi Laurent.
What an interesting and unusual by subject butterfly picture. I mean combination of the butterfly, flower and coloration of the BG. I like again your skillful exposure parfmeters, excellent DOF and superb work with flash. Both butterfly and BG are illuminated very well. My best regards and TFS.

Bonjour Laurent.
Superb capture of the Adonis Blue (P. bellargus). Excellent POV, pose, sharpness, colours and composition. The bg is natural and suitably blurred to emphasise the butterfly.
Bravo!
C'est un de mes papillions favorites! Merci!
Bon weekend,

Hello Laurent,
Ivan drew my attention to this fantastic capture of the Adonis Blue, a beauty I've only seen in England. This is a very fine sharp capture of the butterfly in a fine pose. The blue-torquoise colours are amazing. I like the background too and the composition is very beautiful.
Many thanks and regards, Ulla

joli papillon, c'est marrant mais tous ces papillons doivent se cacher quand je me ballade, je vois souvent les mêmes, à voir tes photos j'ai l'impression de n'en connaitre qu'une toute petite partie,
;) petite boutade en rapport avec la note: tu les élèves ou quoi ? :P

Bonjour Laurent,
C'est une très belle composition et prise de vue. L'ouverture utilisée fait ressortir de superbe détails, autant sur la fleur que sur le papillon. C'est une espèce tellement belle que je ne vois pas ici. Tu es certain que ce n'est pas un papillon d'élevage, lol? Superbe!
