Thanks for looking,

Super little butterfly superbly imaged... I see you had the same trouble as me, the antennae spread so wide you cannot get them within the DoF.

Nice one, did you go back in the morning for a dew covered version?

Hello Lewis.

Excellent capture.

Good light great detail and the composition is spot on.

Cracking capture Lewis - the OoF antennae don't bother me at all really.

Nicely executed and well processed

This is a beauty. I think I may have preferred it from the other side with the flower detail in, but then that may have distracted from this cracking butterfly.

Thanks for the comments guys!

Tim: No, I wish I did, but I had other tasks this morning. Shame as I think they will be gone by next week.

Marcus: I took that shot too, although it doesn't look quite right IMO and the BG isn't as good.

Cheers,

Lewis.
