Hi all,

One from this mornings efforts. First one of these I have seen this year. Definitely my favourite white species, they are so dainty and delicate.

Thanks for looking,

Lewis.

I think I would like to see a little more space around it on all sides, but otherwise I agree with Andy - an absolute cracker.

An absolute beauty Lewis, lovely detail and b/g.
Did you take any in portrait mode as I feel it may have suited the subject more so.?

It's great to see them reappearing now isn't it!!

Thanks for the quick responses!

I do indeed have a variety of shots, some with lots of room and in portrait format, so I have plenty to go through.

Cheers,

Lewis.

I like that Lewis. Was out looking for them myself today without success so I am a bit jealous of this. Beautifully executed macro.
