Nice shots, colours may need a little saturation do you think ? just to bring out the off colour.
 
(y)They all look good, and if it wasn't for that bit of grass, the Painted Lady butterfly would have been my first choice (of course ;))
 
thanks all..

as for the colours, I never really took much notice, just adjusted the WB in ACR, thats where the colours my have been "washed" out. but yes, they could do with a bit of colour (will adjust my dng's accordingly)

oh, the blade of grass :) .. i added that in after to see if you were paying attention :) .. lol .. yeah it has ruined it a little, was a last minute dash kinda thing and didn't move the blade of grass away, or re-site myself. if doing so my have startled it and never got a photo.

shall make note of grass and other "in the way" things next time :) honest!
 
What a lovely set, whats wrong with your photography?
All nice pics to me, and natural too.
