Hi Kevin,

Nice shot, shows how small these really are! Perhaps up the saturation a little, but thats down to personal taste. I do find the oof middle of the flower a little distracting, no big thing though!

Cheers,

Lewis.

I hope you didn't interrupt the teddy bears' picnic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0q2Ht_vRkjs :smile: :wink: Mind you for a shot like this it would have been worth it. :smile: Very nice indeed. They are small aren't they?

Nice shot Kev, yep ID looks right :wavey:

Agree it looks a bit under saturated and the 'bigness' of the flower head tends to dominate the Skipper a tad, but well done squire...

Great subject, background and action. Agree with the dominant flower head comments above.

Cheers
