Nice image Stu - really like it even if he is 'upside-down' :biggrin: :toast:

Maybe a tad on NR might not go astray, but nice work :wavey:

I like your photo. Simplicity and butterfly actually showing off its blue colour is what makes it up for me.

Cheers,
Marko

Hi Stuart,

Lovely simple image that works to great effect. Lovely pastel colurs that go so well together added by a nice composition.

I especially like this as not only do you see the Blue but also the under of the rear wing, very well taken.
