A meadow brown butterfly feeding on daisies and cornflowers - a shot from last summer. The way the insect kept treading across the flowers suggested this ` pano-macro ' comp !

Canon 7D, 55-200mm lens @ 200mm, 1/1250 sec @ f 6.3, -1ev, ISO 400

Lovely soft touch, Ian! I like everything about this (except maybe the little blue petal just kissing the top of the frame) :biggrin:

Beauty, Ian. The BF practically glows, and the yellow and purple flowers make a great perch, and the overall bg is just plain pretty.

Nice picture. I like the soft colors and the effect of blurring the background.

Very attractive colors & nice soft lighting.
Unusual POV, the flowers & b-fly share the frame well Ian.
Would like to see it a bit larger, my only nit.
Well done :toast:
