Managed to more or less isolate this fritillary in a patch of them one Spring evening in the late sun.

Canon 7D, Tamron 55-200mm lens @ 200mm, 1/200 sec @ f 5.6, ISO 400

Gorgeous red color that stands alone in this frame Ian, nice!
I like the soft light, colors and those few faint specular highlights in the BG too.
Well done!:toast:

What an interesting looking flower (I have never heard of these) but looks like a difficult flower to photograph if they are always upside down. I like the back lighting effect to show some of the flower patterns.

Ian: Wonderful lighting and overall a fine comp. I'm undecided on the OOF bloom near the left edge but I'm leaning toward regarding it as a plus. Well seen and superbly captured. >=))>

Wonderful flower! I like the soft background setting it up.

Lovely view, Ian. The oof bud on the left adds a nice touch of balance and subtle interest.

Somehow, I like better the previous post - which was made rich with a lively background. This one is more isolated, but not fully so. Just my opinion...
