Nice to see a shot of a comma that doesn't have its wings spread. You can really appreciate what good camouflage they have, and where they get the name from! As usual Guy you've got the DoF spot on, very good balance of sharpness in the subject and OoF background, and colours of subject, background and bracken(?) work well together.

Cracking Guy, love comma's for the wing shape. Really like the muted colours and the viewpoint in this shot :smile:
