I managed to get quite a few shots of this small skipper on some verbena - this is my last for now !!

This skipper sure was cooperative, Ian. Butterfly/floral images don't get much "cleaner" than this one with both perfectly isolated from the bg. The skipper is in great position with excellent detail. Hard to pick a favorite from this series. I liked the last one, but this is excellent as well.

All of the images in this series are beautiful, but I like this one best because of the way he is facing the camera. I also think it has the best bg. Well done!

Yep, this was a cooperative subject and you (of course) have done a fine job showing it off.

Hi Ian

I have enjoyed the series. the small skipper was an excellent model, the bloom and the BG were also beautifully captured.. Excellent work in all of the series
