Summer Butterfly Photo

Photographer’s Note

As summer orange flowers were blooming in a good formation, I stopped the bicycle to capture it, then just at that moment a black swallowtail butterfly was crossing the blossoms. It was an event only for a few seconds.
Colour of orange and green has been made from a picture style "Landscape", which is no retouched. I made only the sky deeper a little to stand out blossoms in pp.

It's so wonderful, so heavenly! This spectacular composition has all the things - flowers, green leaves, butterfly and blue sky.

TFS, abhijit.

Hi Hisashi,

that's definitely an unusual angle. I like the contast between the blue and the green and to see the little butterfly flying to the flowers. It's graphically interesting and well presented!

Carlos

Hello Hisahi.
What a simple but beautiful composition of rich colours. You used the polariser very well here to enhance the blue and green. Well chose viewpoint, looking up at the sky. I had to look carefully to see the butterfly! Very nicely done.
Regards,
Andrew

Bonjour Hisashi.
Cette photo est simple mais aussi très belle. Le papillon a lui aussi apprécié les belles couleurs des fleurs qui se détachent sur le bleu profond du ciel.
Amical salut !

This is a nice fresh image Hishasi. I like the waving, swirling movement of the branches and the delicious colours. Regards kevin

Hi Hisashi, the tones of this photo are wonderful. Isn't nature amazing? I love the way the blossoms stand out against that blue, blue sky. It is now spring in Australia and this photo is a perfect reminder to me of that! TFS, Lisa.

Hi Hisashi

That's the first time I see orange flowers. I have seen many orange trees with fruits but never the flowering. Thanks for sharing. You produced very nice contrasts by increasing the saturation of the sky. Well done
Best regards
Urs
