[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This picture I have also taken in the Ardeche in France, last holiday.

This kind of butterfly, the Swallowtail, you see very very often in the Ardeche. Mostly you will see them on lavender, but this one I saw on the shore of the river Ardeche.

I hope you like it.

Don

Nice sharp capture of a butterfly. I dont think we get to see like these in our part of teh world. Creative framing too. Nice work. TFS

Bonjour Don,
Le papillon est parfaitement mis en valeur dans cette composition. Nous pouvons admirer les fins détails de ses ailes déployées ainsi que les graviers qui forment un ensemble de grande qualité au point de vue artistique.
Bravo !
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hello Don
Its late and going to bed but not before I told you
this is nice.
Bye
Rob

Colors are superb. The butterfly looks as if it is about to fly off the monitor. Great work!

The beauty of nature Don...you captured it very well...my compliments.

Don,
Vlinders zijn leuk, Vlinderen is nog leuker. Maar vinderplaatjes gaan zo snel lijken op een studie boek of catalogus. Je vorige foto’s vond ik prachtig. Een paddestoel die de grond uit barst zegt iets. Een vaasje vergeten oude bloemen zegt iets. Dit is natuurlijk een zeer persoonlijke mening en prikkebeen met zijn vlindernetje zal het zeker niet met me eens zijn.
Toch krijg je punten van mij voor de prachtige foto’s die je hiervoor hebt gemaakt en ik meer dan twee punten had willen geven.

Hi Don

A colorful butterfly, with superb dof & sharpness. I like the overlap of the wings outside the frame. Good work!

Nice shot Don, and great PP work. Sharp, colourful and well composed. You have very nice work in your portfolio. TFS,
Sam

Ook in de ban van doorbroken frames, alsof binnen de kaders de mogelijkheden op zijn ;)
Het beest ligt hier als een nieuw voor radar onzichtbaar vliegtuig; net voordat die kleur verandert in die van de achtergrond. Mooie foto Don

Weetje Don, van John en jou krijg ik het gevoel:
ik leer het nooit! Jullie maken zo relaxed de mooiste
foto's over verschillende onderwerpen, zucht!
Knap hoor ! Groetjes ventje

An amazing butterfly Don, good shot, I do like the frame/shot crossover in the corner. Nice and sharp, I have to say from the thumbnail I assumed this butterfly had gone to meet its maker. Thankfully not. TFS
See what you think of my butterfly shots.
Have a good day.
