Great angles, they all seem to close their wings in my garden or sit high above me.

Nice selection to have in your garden

A Peacock and Red Admiral from yesterday to add to my collection (the Buddliea is still in flower, surprisingly):

Really nice collection and the Comma is to die for

Really glad you like them, Tara
- I am struggling to achieve the clean backgrounds and lovely bokeh that you display on your butterfly shots - I use a 200mm f/2.8 lens at f/11, but generally cannot manage to keep stray foliage out of the shot, and recent windy days do not help! The buddleia this year has been a real butterfly magnet, but I guess the season will soon be over
