Hi all,

Another one from yesterday morning. This Common Blue was warming her wings in the early sunshine. A bit large in the frame perhaps, but it flew before I could re-compose

!

Thanks for looking,

Lewis.

Hi Lewis,

A lovely shot of one of my favourite Butterflies

It looks about right size wise.

Perfect focus Lewis - cracking shot

Not too large in the frame by any means, though I might have had the subject a bit more to the right.

Good strong image..
