    Managed to get some ok frames of this butterfly after chasing one around for about half an hour. Image adjustments in Lightroom. Hand held, full frame.

    Nice low shooting angle and very good detail around the butterfly's head! For my taste, I'd like to see more DOF on the wings. This could be achieved by shooting from a little farther away - and cropping more in post. The jagged grass leaf and the cut leaf in the bottom center of the frame are detracting from the image IMO. The latter could be easily cloned out, if you wish.

    I am sure this was a tricky one to capture but unfortunately I don't think we get a clear enough view. It really does look colourful. Again (sorry for being repetitive) I feel oversaturated.
