Hi Tony,

Lovely capture! Saw my first butterfly of the year yesterday! A ‘Red Admiral’.

The light's a little harsh but the wonderful colours more than make up for it.

Nice one, but I can't work out what the plant is ?

Cheers

Harsh lighting and subsequent contrast Tony, but a nice image, reckon the contrast could be toned down in PS...

Agree with the comments re the light-the butterfly is shadowless which is good-great title

Re what plant is it......................Bluebells.................
The original is fine Re exp. and contrast, this was just a "what can I do now" moment!

Silly me - I thought it was a weak flowered Hyacinth. !
At least I got the family right !

Striking image. Unusual colourings.

First sighting of the year in my garden and the first time ever seen here last week of January and in Norfolk the following week!
