A bit of studio form last year's influx of these wonderful B'flies.

Kind regards,

Brett, have to be honest and say I am not keen on bland white backgrounds. :toast:

Lovely detail Brett. I don't mind a plain background like this when it's obviously a studio type image.

Super detail in the Butterfly Brett, whats the plant it's perched on? at first I thought it might be heather but now I'm not too sure.

nicely taken Brett but I'm not so keen on the background on this one. I do quite like the studio look normally but here it's less obvious that it is a studio shot as it looks a bit too much like a washed out sky.
