Thats a superb shot Jack! The undersides of these are amazing, great perch and bg! There are loads around, but getting a decent shot of one is still tricky. Is that a dust bunny to the left of the butterfly?
Cheers,
Lewis.

Nice shot, as Lewis says, getting a good shot can be tricky even if there are a lot of them about at the moment. I think you have managed nicely here, but I do wonder if portrait format would not have better suited the subject.

Like the upright position of this one. This one looks quite fresh too - there've been loads around up here too but looking a lot more battered than this!
As already said, you have succeeded very well in photograping this species. A beautiful shot.
We have a lot of them in Holland too, at the moment, but I didn't manage to get a decent shot so far.

Very nice Jack - I think it would have worked better in portrait format!
