Common Blue female.
This is a late one from last month. She must have got confused by the weather like us !
I think this shows what the D7000 and Sigma 150mm combination can do when it works ! Must be one of my sharpest macro shots.

there aren't too many of these around now but this looks good to me John. It really pops against the background.
It looks like some artistic lout has taken a spray can to this one John . I've never seen one of those before. Lovely image.

This leaps out of the screen, John. Looks like the D7000 and the Sigma 1500mm is a very good combo.

Nice sharp shot. Greens look a bit too green to me.

I agree with Ian about the greens, but even so the subject really pops.

Thanks all.
I have the camera set on auto WB -warm, all the time so thats probably to do with the green. Call it a trade mark
Easily rectified but not without messing the butterfly about.
Thanks for your interest.

Really pops out at you and tack sharp! I also find my greens a little warm JR and usually de-saturate a little. Superb shot.
