Backlit butterfly
This Common Blue butterfly was backlit by the late evening sunlight.

1/125th second

ISO 400
-0.3 stop exposure compensation
Hand held using live view to compose the shot at arm's length.

Not to shabby for being handheld! Nice detail although loosing a bit of focus on the top part of the wing.
Nice tones and colours.
