Brown Argus Butterfly
Captured this image at Rainham Marshes on Saturday. This butterfly is 10 to 15 mm in size.

Canon 1Dmk3, EF100-400 + 1.4x @560mm, iso800, 1/800th sec, f11, hand held, cropped.

Very nice capture. It looks a scruffy little thing. :biggrin: :wink:

The background nicely compliments the butterfly. Would prefer to have more dof but I guess with the angle it's taken (and handheld) you would be hard pressed. Nice shot anyway.

Great effort for a handheld shot, excellent colour and detail :smile:
