Last of the blues

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. :biggrin:

Thanks for looking,

Lewis.

Great texture in the plantain flower and the butterfly's not bad as well. :smile: :wink: 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. :toast:

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 :wavey:

Nice one on an interesting perch.... good detail. There certainly are some scruffs around at the moment, I am amazed some are still able to fly.

perfect pose and composition Lewis, very well taken. The colours are perhaps a little warm for my liking but still a great shot.
