Hi all!

Finally managed to locate some of these yesterday morning, beautiful little things in dawn sunshine! The highlighted gorse needle at the bottom of the frame annoys me, but I have left it in to see what others think......

Thanks for looking,

Lewis.

Def tone the needle down a tadge .But a cracking macro of this rare lepidopteran.

Great shot, beautiful colours and composition. I reckon the needle could be toned down, but to be honest I didn't notice it until you said, as I was too busy looking at the butterfly!!

a lovely shot, well taken. I would probably tone down the needle as well but it's no big deal.
