We have had some of the best weather of the year lately and the garden is full of butterflies and moths though I am struggling to shoot the moths. These shots were all taken with my Zuiko 60 mm f2.8 macro lens which I am starting to enjoy using.

Here is a Red Admiral

Very niiiice! …a tad over PP'ed but still, very nice.
 
Great set of images Alf, some very fine detail, good composition and spot on exposure.(y)

You got the DR points right, the micro contrast is its saturation are a tad high,
that leads me to believe (but not die for) that you use too strongly the vibrance,
and the clarity along with their saturation and that you are possibly using LR.

OK lets have a look I am using LR CC.
Here are the setting for each shot

Garden critters, in the autumnal light Spot on for me
As for the 'strange ' crit from our guest, just ignore and hopefully he will go away, they all do eventually, but we may have to put up with it for a while yet
