A Green-veined White butterfly taken in the meadow outside my home.

The ground was boggy so I just held out my hands and used the live-view to frame and focus.

Nice colors and details Geoff, I like the square crop. Good job keeping things sharp hand held.
Well done.

The subject is nice and sharp and I like the perch. The only nit is the OOF grass blade that cuts diagonally across the frame

Wonderful close up of this butterfly, I like the detail and pose, too bad about the OOF branch but good job with the colors, way to go.
