C and C welcome

Kind Regards
Chris

I really like the setting here with the sunlit background and the inclusion of the complete flower head is a real bonus.
Unfortunately your very low shutter speed looks as though it may have taken the edge off of the critical sharpness on the butterfly,although it's not always easy to tell at this small size.
An attractive shot though in an attractive setting.

A nice shot, but i to think it neads some USM to bring out some more detail and make the butterfly "pop".Oh and a touch of saturation would look great aswell.

I still like it tho :toast:
