Nice one John. You could probably make it it a touch btighter without losing detail. Those Colours (refraction, I presume) on the underwings are amazing - I've never noticed that before on an orange tip.

Cheers

The pearlescence on the hindwings is captured beautifully .A tadge dark for me on the BG , but a fine image all the same.

Something went wrong there.
yes thanks both. I,ve done a re post. This head positioning with this monitor is giving me trouble. The background was dark in shadow though and I left it. The yellow showing through the wings didn't catch my eye that much when I took the picture.According to the lit. some individuals can be quite bright.

Hi John, the repost is much better, though the bg is still a bit busy for my taste.

Hi John.
Prefere the softer? image of the first one,take the point of the busy bg but they do tend to please themselves.All in all a lovely picture.
Hows the shakey hands?

A little dark on my monitors but still a great shot anyway. I know the feeling about getting down ( the easy part) it's the getting up that is starting to be a problem and I'm only 63.wink:
