The afternoon sunlight really brings the butterfly's detail and colours to life.
A colourful and vibrant image.

Very nice - bright and vibrant. Focus drops off a little at the wing-tip but we've all been there!

A fine close-up shot Paul :smile:
The butterfly looks in great condition and it's separated nicely from the background.
Well done.

Geoff.

Very nicely done Paul, the image has great colours and superb lighting. It's a quality macro shot IMO.

Spot on Paul. You have done really well to get virtually all of it sharp. No easy task. Love the background too. :wavey:
