D200 w. Sigma 150mm f2.8 macro ISO 400
1/250 @ f11 handheld
Another one from sunday's rosebush. I don't remember ever having seen so many red admirals in one place before - most of them quite newly emerged. It has been an oustanding year for both them and painted ladies. Pity that their offspring are unlikely to survive the winter.

Excellent dof. Great colours. Maybe a little oversharpend. Would try to blur the BG a bit.

great dof and composition but i agree with Paul that a softer background would improve this

Very strong prime subject, although i agree with previous comments that the bg is very slightly holding the overall shot back.
Still a fine butterfly shot, for me.
