Orange Tip Butterfly

[photopainter]

A little walk around a nature reserve this morning.. and my first wild butterfly of the season..

And a 5:1

Lots of these where I live but they are difficult to get near. You must have found one who's not camera shy.
Beautiful captures and oh so close, brilliant!

That last photograph shows so much fine detail. You can start to make out the compound eye WOW!!

 

[AshMashMash]

Beautiful!

I really like the first shot - the detail etc is all good in the others but the first is a very good example of how beautiful they are

Cracking shots.

All three deserve top marks there Gary, albeit #1 is my pick of the bunch as the composition suits the subject very well

Thanks for all your comments - warm weather cant come quick enough now, still seem to have to search about for ages to get a find.
