Brimsone Butterfly face on
Canon 5D, Sigma 180mm, F22, 1/30, iso 100, Tripod, Cable release, MLU.

I watched this one settle the night before at sunset, so I new there was going to be a good chance it would still be there in the morning. And to my delight it was. Camera was setup before sunrise and used a very small reflector to bounce light on to butterfly just before the main light caught it. :wavey:

Guy This is great when you consider how many inferior images are produced in the studio or kitchen by sticking stuff in the fridge etc,( oh yes it still goes on )
Well done.
