Large White (Pieris brassicae)
Harsh lighting conditions coupled with a gusty breeze, but still quite pleased with the result. Comments most welcome. Thanks for looking.

Very nice. Nice detail in the wings considering the lighting conditions. :toast:
Cheers

Yes very nice indeed. Brings back memories of the 1950's when my father got me to squash all the caterpillars on his cabbages so he didn't have to spray them. :smile: :eek:

Portrait format would also work well here too. Good job on getting the image in less than ideal conditions.

A well taken shot that's probably about as good as it could be in those lighting conditions. A nice composition and the butterfly's wings are sharp throughout. It's always nice to see them actually feeding as this one is.
