Hi all,
Butterfly numbers are really starting to drop now with some very shabby looking specimens around, only found a few this morning and only one Common Blue. Probably the last butterfly of the year from me.

Great texture in the plantain flower and the butterfly's not bad as well. Excllent focus on the butterfly against a great BG. If it's the last this year it will certainly do.

I really like this one - really detailed, pin sharp, excellent colour and background. As David says, a great end to the year.

Nice image Lewis - I like the comp, and the clarity and sharpness across the image is great - nice image to end on, if indeed that's the case
