This one is from the butterfly tent.  I like the shadow on the leaf.

Canon 60D, f/11, 1/200, ISO 800. 300mm

All comments are welcome and appreciated.
Also does anyone know the ID on this one?

Barb, I don't know the id, but love the gentle colors and those lovely green spots in the wings.  The sharpness of the bf and leaf are excellent also.  Yes, the shadow is a fun inclusion.

Barb, I like that the green spots on the butterfly match the color of the leaf and the background. This is a Tailed Jay. It is a very active butterfly if it begins to fly.

This is very nice Barb. I have never seen a shadow of a bf on a leaf before but it's very effective. Graham

It's the colour that attracts my eye here, Barb - the soft greens on the background which pick up on the green spots on the butterfly wings.  A beautifully realised portrait all round !!
