They were amazing, the woman in the butterfly house said she had never seen them like that either.

Thanks for the comments as well. I am fairly pleased with them, now i just need to whittle them down from the 300 or so I have!

Tbh I take hundreds, at all diff angles, apertures, ISos and focal point, then I pick the best, more luck than skill

I was in butterfly house for over 3 hours before I died of heat, just wandering and snapping, I loved it they are beautiful creatures.
