Wicken Fen Brimstone..
40D, 180/3.5, A-327 +BH1.
ISO400, 1/350 @ f8, natural light
C1 v4 + resize & sharpen CS3.

Hi,

Great to meet up with Tom, Rob and Paul at Wicken Fen today... we all concentrated on close ups (well almost), problem was there is a definate lack of subjects, Tom and Paul headed of for breakfast when Rob spied this wonderful specimen (Oh to have young eyesight again), after a while we where able to coax it onto a good perch...

Once again great to meet up today..

The dark background really makes it stand out. I'm starting to think you were a circus performer in a previous life Phil, I mean butterfly taming and balancing on step ladder under a blanket. :biggrin:

Nice one Phil, but maybe verging on oversharpening?? :wink:

Phil,

Great shot. I think the sharpening is spot on.

Good to meet you, and look forward to catching up in the future.

Hi Phil. Great subject and well shot. I doubt whether I could have spot these either! My only criticism (and it is minor) is the framing. Its just a little tight on the left for me. Lovely and crisp through and through. If you return to Wicken Fen, please let me know! Would be good to finally meet up. :wavey:

Hi Phil,

Stunning image of a fine looking camo subject! I know I would indeed struggle to find one of these!

Hi Phil, A fine example of this BF and you've captured everything spot on from DOF to BG, all there and in superb detail.

Hello Phil.

They dont come much better than this. Nice light and great detail, and the background really makes this stand out. :wavey:
