    Well you must be fed up over me continually complaining about the lack of butterflies, well on Sunday I saw 4 of these little guys......and it's been raining ever since!
    All comments welcome.

    Awesome! Love the details of the fine hairs on the body and wings, as well as the colors. Very nice lighting & a really good pose with an interesting perch. The diagonal line in the back fits right in with the composition. Glad a few butterflies are showing up!

    Congrats on finally getting one of these cute little fellows and capturing him so nicely. Lovely light and super sharp with so many fine details. Beautiful.

    This absolutely superb image. Love the colors and fine details,good perch and composition.
    I could see the version without brown grass in the BG.

    Regards,

    Beautiful sharpness and detail, and the colors of the butterfly and the BG are a wonderful match.

    Excellent news that your common blues are finally making an appearance! As usual, excellent sharpness and detail. Would prefer without the OOF stem cutting behind the legs, but works well as is.

    That stem might be changed to green to blend better with the BG, but don't know if your images are for true nature where that wouldn't be allowed.
