At last some butterflies appearing, this one I got at Potteric Carr yesterday in the force nine summer gales, also saw a good selection of dragonflies:- brown hawkers, black tailed skimmers, common darters and four spotted chasers.

Cheers now

Really nice image Tim, as usual. Dof spot on for the butterfly but I do find the leaf tip immediately behind the head and antennae rather distracting. Shame - as if it had been clear of the head area I don'y think that it would have distracted from the image at all.

Cheers

Ouch

Thanks Tim I just cut myself on the sharpness of this beauty

The leaf in the bg doesn't bother me the slightest.

Awesome shot & one to be expected from you

Again well up to your usual standard. It would have been better, IMHO, if the BG leaf tip encompassed both antennae but only a very minor niggle.
