    Default A ring of flowers for the Ringlet...

    Hello all,

    Here is an Inornate Ringlet photographied at the Mont Orford National Park in Quebev last June.

    Using a combo 300mm + 1.4 TC at this aperture I got a blackish bacground. Seeing the opportunity here, I decided to darken the background in order to get the flowers and the butterfly as a single entity.

    Do you like it?

    Thank you again!

    Michel

    The Common Ringlet flies in a wide variety of grassy habitats, including roadsides, woodland edges and clearings, prairies, bogs, and arctic and alpine taiga and tundra.

    I think that is very nice too. Lighting, color detail is perfect. Background darkening worked imo very good here.

    It's really lovely! The flowers are perfectly centered but you'd never realize it because the butterfly is in the ROT's. It's well exposed and nicely balanced. I can't tell on my monitor if the wing of the insect is overly sharpened or just a bit on the hairy side but I like it either way.

    Hi everyone,

    Thank you very much for your nice and kind comments! It is really appreciated :-)

    I got my first DSLR since last spring and have to become more familiar with it but I'm feeling that the learning curve won't be so slow... :-)

    Cheers!

    Michel
