Scotch Argus
D7000 105mm f2.8 1/80s at f11 ISO 100 tripod cable release

Taken last summer very early in the morning after a heavy dew. Sun had just hit the butterfly. Rare in England but common where I am on the west coast of Scotland.
All C+C warmly welcomed.
Nick.

That's just gorgeous! Love the dewdrops and that graded complementary background.

Utterly beautiful. The colours and the background are just stunning.

Many thanks for all you comments. :smile: I forgot to mention that as the sun lit up the area where I was the warmth brought out thousands of midges and I ended up beating a hasy retreat once I had the images I had come for. :eek:
