Hello Alan.

Excellent capture of the Gatekeeper, and nicely positioned in the frame. Love the amount of detail you've captured in the butterfly with the background going nicely out of focus.

Best image i've seen so far of a Gatekeeper. The light, colours and sharpness of the butterfly show up really well against the OOF background.

Oh, yeah! I remember the other image, Alan; this is very good! Congrats on the EP and for your perseverence in presenting this lovely specimen.
