Yellow and looking trough. Photo

Photographer’s Note

This was 45 minutes driving with the car, and I can recoment this beautiful butterfly garden. It's realy great, and special for our Belgian, luxenbourgh and Dutch, and French photographers. This is the bigist butterfly garden in the region. About the photo, words are not enough, but I like the green and yellow flower, it has a great dof, and it's sharp, the looking through details of the butterfly. Sorry I have looked on the web but I could not find the name.I like the composition a lot. Wonderful with a great dof. I realy love this one.I hope you will enjoy it too.

Jaap volgens mij kunnen ze haast niet scherper. Alweer een prachtig Macro shot. Goed gedaan!!

cxxl (2680) 2004-02-27 5:26

Wow.. how did you "clone brush" out the wings??? ;) only joking... A very unusual specimen, and very well captured.

lulululu2003 (413) 2004-02-27 5:26

I like this shot very much. I agree with u that the composition is good with a great DOF. The color is well managed too. Well done!!

Amazing macro shot, Jaap. Very good sharpness and excellent DOF. Very effective square format. A pleasure for the eyes, very very good job.

Magnifique macro, les détails de ce papillon sont extraordinaires. Les ailes translucides sont du plus bel effet.
Merci Jaap pour cette superbe photo.
Splendid macro, the details of this butterfly are extraordinary. The translucent wings are more beautiful effect. Thank you Jaap for this superb photograph.

Good colour and a nice tight shot. Thanks for this interesting looking creature.

pelib (416) 2004-02-27 6:02

Mooie foto Jaap, Ik wist niet dat er doorzichtige vlinders waren, echt schitterdend om te zien. Waar is trouwens die vlindertuin ?

Great macro Jaap.

This butterfly is great. I am trying to make photos like this but I can´t.

Great job

jhm (82487) 2004-02-27 6:58

Jaap, dit is uw specialiteit, macro's met vlinders of iets dergelijk, opnieuw prachtig gedaan, ik wacht op de volgende. Bedankt voor de laatste tussenkomst, eind goed al goed.

charmante (1053) 2004-02-27 7:13

Michael_Gan (2772) 2004-02-27 9:37

The transparent wings of this butterfly are absolutely fabulous and very well caught in this picture. Beautiful colours and nice cropping. Well done!

joso (1786) 2004-02-27 9:46

A very good one, Jaap, not to say fantastic. I'm afraid even to look, not to heart it, or break.
Very good sharpness and DOF, the yellow flower emphasize even more the fragility.
Very well seen and done.

santosh (304) 2004-02-27 11:01

Beautiful picture. I like the butterfly. I have never seen such a butterfly. Nature has so many surprises. Thanks for sharing this picture with TE.

Georges (11183) 2004-02-27 12:05

Les détails sont vraiment surprenants sur cette image et la profondeur est une fois de plus bien maîtrisée.
Bravo Jaap pour cette bonne suite.

manny (21378) 2004-02-27 12:28

Perfect capture. The butterfly looks very elegant and the transparent wing certainly is a big plus. The DOF chosen was appropriate.

PechePassion (483) 2004-02-27 13:06

On prends le meme et on recommence !
Comme hier c'est extraordinaire la transparence de ce papillon !

Le cadrage plus qu'hier est en revanche mieux adapté à mes yeux !

Ebbe (9571) 2004-02-27 13:20

Wow, Jaap, I didn´t know creatures like this existed on the planet, thanks for showing me. The DOF is of course a bit short as it is a macro, not much to do ;o)

ninadev (5225) 2004-02-27 13:25

This is an amazing butterfly, never seen anything like that. Everything is delicate and lovely in this photo, the yellow flower comes out sell, as little soft, just enough so that the butterfly is still the star of this shot.

cecile (4193) 2004-02-27 14:51

ahh voici le petit frère de celui d'hier! ;-)
toujours bien mis en scène, mais je trouve la fleur d'hier plus lumineuse

gbac (1931) 2004-02-27 15:54

Les détails sont parfait le papillon donne toujours la même impression de fragilité.
Bien vu.

Eagle78 (1925) 2004-02-27 17:13

Wondeful Jaap! I have seen the other and prefer this one...great insect you got here :)

I posted a workshop, only to correct some noise, which i think may improuve the image a bit...anyway, i love it :)

JudyH (700) 2004-02-27 17:37

Again - you are very lucky to be able to travel to a butterfly garden. This one is especially stunning! I love the transparency of the wings. Very good composition and use of DOF - agreed. I like the WS using NeatImage too. Lovely work!

Clochette (8076) 2004-02-27 19:43

Wow, a rare shot, Jaap... That's the very first time I see this kind of butterfly. Incredible. Excellent you were there to share it with us !

richtersl (3544) 2004-02-28 7:19

This is an amazing creature that you've managed to capture. I never knew that butterflies could have wings like that. The photo is very well done!!!

Didi (36084) 2004-02-28 12:51

Un papillon aux ailles transparentes ! C'est merveilleux et très bien cadré avec une exposition parfaitement dosée.
Du très bon travail.

A butterfly with transparents wings!
It's marvellous and is very well tallied with a perfectly proportioned exposure. Very good work.

Motrem (2392) 2004-02-28 19:34

The marriage of colours butterfly-flower is better here and the stronger composition. Excellent!

Le mariage des couleurs papillon-fleur est meilleur ici et la composition plus forte. Excellent!

cool_s15 (4044) 2004-02-29 4:46

Wow this is my first time seeing this.
Wonderful butterfly. Very well captured.
Thanks for sharing.

wilkinsonsg (8646) 2004-03-04 13:36

Great macro shot, the subjecy is interesting (the transparent wings).

CoolDan (2490) 2004-03-06 10:20

Les ailes de ce papillon me font rêver.
Votre macro est superbement réussie. Bravo Jaap.

longpt (947) 2004-06-09 11:16

Wonderful! Nice DOF, greet detail with lovely green color. I think it must be a flydragon but not a butter fly!

magnier (984) 2004-06-29 13:23

J'adore les couleurs et la profondeur de champs est parfaite.

danbachmann (1684) 2004-07-01 16:31

I've never seen a butterfly with so much of the wings being transparent. There is a little bit of noise/grain in the image, which I see someone has done a nice workshop to get rid of

ChrisJ (70203) 2004-08-15 4:28

Very nice macro with good strategic graphics.

A wonderful shot of a Clearwing Butterfly. There are many species throughout the world. My guess is that it may be from Central or South America,
perhaps Greta andromica (Salvin).

It's hard to tell without really looking at the entire body. But, there are many species of clearwing butterflies and moths.

Great job of using hyperfocal focus.

berek (28901) 2006-08-31 2:33
