One that I would like to catch up with Brett, a cracking butterfly. The streak in the background is a little distracting, but nothing major.

nice one Brett, that's a butterfly I've never managed to photograph as I see very few around here.

I've never photographed one either.Maybe just a bit more dof,for the top of the wing but nice to see it feeding.

Very nice. I saw a small blue butterfly fluttering about a couple of days ago, but it didn't stop long, so I have no idea what species.

Lovely detail. I think I would have preferred portrait format, as the plant stem provides a strong vertical, but no big deal.

Very nice Brett. They can be quite awkward to expose correctly with those silvery under-wings.
