Hi,

From a very pleasant early morning... free from gale force winds for a change :jump: . One of our rarest butterflies that has endangered status, pictured here roosting on one of its woodland larval foodplants, Common Cow Wheat.

All the best

Spot on Phil,

Very well exposed, great BKGR and good DOF. If I was to offer any suggestions for improvement, then I would suggest you add some canvas back to the image ( if available ). I would include the ends of the leaves that are just clipped in this particular crop.

Cheers

Austin
