Bonjour Jean,

This is simply a big coincidence that today on TL, I posted a picture of painted lady with lavender flowers too :)

Your picture looks better than mine. The focus on the butterfly is perfect with great show of natural colors, taken with nice sharpness and from a well chosen POV. the gentle wind make a great swing to the lavendr sticks, thereby reflecting great mood here.

Well done, my friend.

best regards,
Paras

Hello JJ,

This is a lovely composition with the stem creating a nice diagonal and the butterfly placed in a 'strong' position within the frame.
However, the butterfly does not appear to be quite sharp around the head area. Sorry to be negative.

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Bonjour Jean,
This is a very exquisite butterfly macro. I can sense it was meticulously composed. I do like the lavenders emanating from the top right of the frame, the smooth background is a highlight and showcases the painted lady nicely. Well done.

bien attrapé Jean Jacques, bravo

Hello JJ,

Ils vont vachement bien Lyon, ils on gagnées mardi soir, et le FCZ a perdu contre Marseille, nul ces Suisse en Foot.
Fantastiqeu macro, le papillon et les lavande, fantastique netteté, couleur, je crois que la lavande colle merveilleusement bien au papillon.

merci et amitié

Bonjour Jean-Jacques,

Comme il paraît loin ce temps où lavande et papillon nous offraient de jolies images!!!
Et oui, cette belle dame a dû bien en profiter quand la lavande était en fleur de se balancer au gré du vent!!!
Le cliché est de toute beauté, aux couleurs naturelles et aux détails merveilleux!!!

Ciao Jean


As always the most silky-crisp details in the macro work!
A well composed presentation with fine lines,
DoF spot on isolates the subject so well...
Amazing 3-D effect, and the colours are
very well reproduced!

Greetings,
