Celebration of wings
There is the season for Black-veined White (Aporia crataegi) in my
area. I like the gothic elegance of those butterflies; pure form - no
eye-catching flashy colours! View them LARGE please!

This is one of the best butterfly photo i've ever seen. I can see that this photo is taken in a studio/unnatural setting. That explain the number and the position of the buterfly as well as the shadow on the background. It remove nothing to the photo !!
Congratulation !

Usually, I am not fond of insects, butterflies etc. but this one is outstanding. Great work, you nailed them all at once with a shallow DOF - very precise shot.

Very impressed
Hi,
This photo immediately captured my eye: it has a subtlety and elegance that is all too rare in most photos. The simplicity of the photo, the repeated clean patterns, the beauty of the insects, the soft backlighting through fog; it all comes together to create a work of art. And to top it all off, some action (the butterfly taking off). Well done!
Jacqueline Roberts , October 31, 2007; 04:10 A.M.
You could look at it for hours...mesmerising!!!
John Patrick , November 24, 2007; 07:27 P.M.
I kept coming back to look at it. Everything - backlighting, colours, DOF, focus, timing - all perfect IMO. Absolutely one of a kind.
John.

Black-veined White
Me, I would have left the top guy out of the photo altogether. He's missing the
fragility you've captured in the others. Simplicity at its best.

Beautiful Melancholy
This is absolutly beautiful, absolut something I would put up on my wall!!
I kinda remind me of one of daVinci's scetches of bugs, same delicate lines, the gray and warm tones.
I think that the one on the top is the one that makes the image so special, how you can see the movement in the wings. Fabelous!

Great capture Igor.
I agree, the sublety of their colour (or lack of!) is beauty in itself. Your DOF is great, and I think you've caught them on the perfect plant, the first thing I noticed was how the points of the thistle (?) seemed to mimic the veins in their wings, Very well done.

Catalog use?
