Hi all,

C & C welcome, thanks for looking!

Really good shot, nice background and colours, excellent detail. ...I have usually struggled a bit with butterfly shots, like this one.

That is a corker of a shot and very nice dof and composition to boot

Thanks Dave and John, your comments much appreciated!

really like this, its so nice to see it with the flower instead of just a big close up

Thanks Bob!

Because of the ammount of yellow the butterfly is getting lost.
I think that much of the flower showing takes the eye away from the subject. Maybe a tighter crop just where the flower starts to go OOF might make a better composition.

Great capture ACB, imo the yellows of the butterfly and flower work so well together as a composition shot
