Went out for the butterflies this morning but gave up after a few frames as there was no sign of the wind dying down. Felt for this little fella as he was hanging for dear life.

Higher-res.

Thanks for looking and as always, comments welcome.

I think this works really well and it's good to see a different angle. Perch is great too.

Nice one Des, a different view point makes it.

Have to agree with the above comments Des. Like the different viewpoint very much, almost makes it look cross eyed :biggrin:

Love the angle and the setting for this one, it's really different, I like it very much.

Thanks all for your kind remarks.

John R. - no idea as my botanical knowledge is zero, but the back of my hands agree with you that it's a neetle of some sort...or at least I was too close to some.

Swimming against the tide on this shot has worked wonders. Everything fits together nicely.
