Small Copper Butterfly

I took this of a Small Copper butterfly in the garden.

Nice shot, all of the butterfly seems to be sharp and in focus but I might be tempted to crop it a bit to make the butterfly a bit larger.

Yes, and also the background is quite busy with pebbles(?).
Maybe you can selectively blur it out more?

Thanks Chris I will have a look at that, I wanted to get closer when I took the photo but it went before I could do so.

Thanks saglik, when I have a look at it again I will blur the stone further.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

Nice shot but as an interesting aside;
Did you know that all the pubs in Harlow New Town are named after butterflies? We do have a pub called the Small Copper as well as The Archers Dart, The Drinker Moth, The Dusty Miller, The Poplar Kitten, The Essex Skipper and there used to be The Painted Lady. I'm sure there are others I have forgotten.
(This is not a recommendation for those pubs, we are talking Harlow remember?)

Hi Andy

I haven't been to Harlow for years now, and with drinking record I would fall over after the second one!!
