Blue and the seed

Before dawn I had scouted around and came across a bunch of Acmon Blues. I thought this was a friendly duo worth some effort. But to my surprise, as the sun rose and as the light filtered through the aspens; the deep blue scales below the orange hind wing band became completely irridescent. The seed is from (i think) a goatsbeard.

Will,

Another great composition with fine light...the seed pod is the icing on the cake. Perfect techs as usual. Very nice.

Best Regards,

David

Great shot - I think the seed adds a lot to the overall image.
