That butterfly picture is very good IMO, very good indeed.

[dunedin]

Thanks JPS, was very windy but managed to find some shelter and patience.

[mikeyb]

Very good, nice to see you out and about whilst I'm stuck at work :(

[sawman]

Both good shots. Like the butterfly best though. Like the angle you have taken it at. Or was that just where you landed!!!

Top one for me. That is soooo clear. What lens, Dunedin?

Awesome pics, both of them. Absolutely a pleasure to view, thanks for posting. Oh, and I hope I get compliments from my lad like that too... :)

He lives a bit away so can't beat him up, but appreciate the comments from everybody makes it worth while, I hope everybody gets as much pleasure out of their hobby as I have with mine, never thought I would see the time when I would be crawling about on my hands and knees chasing bugs. Thanks again.

Brilliant!, so sharp giving amazing detail, i could look at dragonflies faces all day, they totally fascinate me. Great series.

[scraggs]

These are really nice shot, the sharpness and dof are great

[Ewan]

Didn't see this until now - Superb images, especially the first!

[dunedin]

Thanks to all again, everything very quite at moment, seems a dearth of everything, plenty of hover flies but butterflies even scarce on buddleias.
