Hi,
One from a quick wonder around my local park yesterday. The White Letter Hairstreaks were about but most hanging out in the tree tops.

Cheers now

Does this mean ultra cheap prices to fellow D2X users? :biggrin:

Lovely image Tim as per usual.

Regards Chris.

Hi Tim,
Very nice image , bought my 150mm sigma last friday , but due to the appalling weather I haven't had the chance to test it out , looks like one sharp lense.

Kind regards
Andy... :smile:

Nice combination of shooting angle and depth of field. You're starting to get the hang of this now :biggrin:

Up to your usual standard Tim and a great decision to include the whole of the leaf.
Love that sunlight illuminating the moth,I can almost feel the warmth from here.
