We found this little field among vine lines. Wheat, red and pink poppies, cornflowers and... a little BF (Coenoninpha pamphilus).

Large version provided.

Very nice! The Small Heath BF on the cornflower is a nice accent. A well balanced image.

Beautiful image, Daniel and Loana! The simple repeating colors of the oof flowers makes a nice background and the off-center placement of the in-focus bloom works well. Looks like it was shot in direct sunlight... sometimes the clouds are just not there when you need them.

Great image over all.

Nice use of OOF color to draw attention to the image of the butterfly, almost an arrowhead shape pointing to the flower in focus. Thanks for sharing.

Love the colors. The BF provides the perfect focal point for the monetesque background.

That's summer! An image with the wild flowers that symbolize this season here. I love it.

A beautiful wash of colors to support the in-focus flower and the butterfly is a perfect accent. Very well done.

Sure looks like summer! I like the focus on the BF and single flower in a nicely colorful background. Very well seen.

This is handled with great sensitivity, D & L !! The rendering of the butterfly on the cornflower is exquisite against the impressionistic bg. Very beautiful !!
