Marbled White..

I met up with Tony Flashman yesterday evening and we had some fun chasing about a field looking for these Marbled white butterflies. They were just setting into roost for the night and gave some nice opportunities as they landed on the seed heads before descending down the stems. Still very warm, they were easily disturbed by the subtlest of tripod movement and slight breeze in the long grass..

Have a good weekend folks,

Brett. :cool:

very nice, what a beautiful butterfly, it could probably stand being about a third lighter but just personal taste

A very nice shot of a particularly attractive creature on a great perch. Love the diagonal composition. :toast:
Posted by Dave Bartlett on July 6, 2008 at 6:18 AM
Yes, the diagonal makes it for me too. Super detail and a great shot with a nice balance with the perch.

A really pretty subject and composition works well. Wonder how it might look in B&W too :smile:

Nice one Brett, like the diagonal comp... I think all the B'flies up our way have been blown over to Essex....

Speak soon
