looking through the bird of paradise 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 Bird on paradise flower, and on this beautiful plant is sitting a looking trough butterfly. I am sorry that I still don't know the name of the butterfly. The colours of the bird of paradise are great. The dof is by this one not so spectaculair, but it's enough, and it's sharp, the looking through details of the butterfly. I like the composition a lot. Wonderful, I realy love this one.I hope you will enjoy it too.

Jaap het is zo goed dat men zou denken, deze vlinder is er op getekend, hier leer ik iets van, ja bedankt voor de nieuwe tip. Ik probeer dat nog wel eens!

PechePassion (483) 2004-03-01 6:22

Couleurs détail encore et toujours très bon !

le seul bemol pour le cadrage trop large sur le bas à mes yeux mais qui n'eneleve rien à la qualité de la photo !

pelib (416) 2004-03-01 6:29

Hele mooie macro foto, al die verschillende kleuren. En ik vind dit toch zo'n aparte vlinder.

Prachtige kleuren. Schitterende macro.

jrj (34779) 2004-03-01 7:53

I have never seen anything like this. a butterfly with transparent wings. Great detail and as always with the best DOF.
Thank's for sharing Jaap

This is really beautiful: the colors are so soft where it needs to be yet the butterfly is so sharp. This is a unique composition with a unique butterfly on a unique flower. A bit grainy but a lot of other beautiful elements of it outweighs the grains. Congratulations.

Fantastic capture you made here Jaap - No more no less. I like the different soft colours of the flower and the amazing wings of the butterfly - very good work - a favorite.

richtersl (3544) 2004-03-01 12:48

This fellow with the transparent wings picked a perfect colorful flower on which to pose for you. This is a most stunning photo!

dsidwell (9745) 2004-03-01 23:26

A bit grainy, but what wonderful colors! Wow! These almost look like they're made of glass.

airin (172) 2004-03-03 6:05

Wondeerful macro, Jaap. Fascinating that we can really see the part of flower through the wings :-). Great colors and sharpness, too. Well done!

swallace (972) 2004-03-03 10:59

Wow! Seeing the flower through the transparent wings is incredible. Very crisp and very well done. Very beautiful capture. Congratulations.

dominique (11403) 2004-03-04 6:21

Amazing colors and a very good composition, I like framing and this rather strange butterfly. it is well done.

vbourrut (30555) 2004-03-04 7:51

This is a perfect macro shot, great detail and color

Bat (102) 2004-03-19 14:22

Great color and composition ! This butterfly is really strange but thanks to him (and you) we can have a look to this flower.

rabani (9421) 2004-04-05 2:27

A living, breathing hovering transparency in color.

Wilcodebie (62) 2004-04-19 15:51

Jaap schitterend die kleuren. Heel onwerkelijk hele goed focus.

oochappan (22032) 2004-07-09 5:17

Mooi, mooi, mooi ... stel je voor ik deze had gemist!
De achtergrond blijft natuurlijk en zet het spotlicht op deze vlinder.

Jan100 (158) 2004-07-12 10:49

This is spectacular! I love the blurred background and the beautiful colours! You can see from the photo how delicate those wings are. Great!

manu_itu (305) 2005-01-11 7:35

Very, very beautiful view, Jaap. You are exellent to do these macros. I have been looking at your file, and you have wonderfull images here. Good for you. Thank you I have been travelling with your shots ! All of us beginners have to study you professional ones.

klyee75 (774) 2006-02-20 18:51

Very beautiful creature with transparent wings and combinate with the colourful flower. Good catch with the background are blur and sharpness on the butterfly.

marieaude (1196) 2006-03-30 12:52

hello, very nice macro of this butterfly. I never see it before, and I am surprise to see through its wings. It is fantastic. The bird paradise is a great place to stop for a butterfly I think. Thank you for this dicovery. I am happy to see it.

jafadabret (39485) 2006-11-24 6:48

Je viens de voir cette photo, Jaap, sur la une de TE aussi je ne pouvais pas la laisser passer. Cette fleur superbe et en plus ce papillon aux ailes tranparentes ça fait une photo d'une grande beauté.
