I agree, I've never actually seen them covered in dew like this, I'm usually fast asleep
Well captured Ian.
Geoff.

Hi Ian
Had to come back to this one before commenting and I think because the dew takes away the fine detail you would normally capture at this range I feel it would look better showing the whole butterfly. That said I still like what you have captured.

It'd full of detail Ian and I do like the composition but to me it doesn't look critically sharp.

beautiful detail on the dew and neat composition too, not so keen on the perch but nought to be done about that

A really interesting, and good, composition.
