[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I have been trying to take a photo of this Yellow Pansy for some time now, but have not succeeded until this morning. This must be one of the most shy butterflies I've seen. It is more easy to take a photo of a dragonfly up close than to even get near one of these beautifull butterflies. This one gave me a chance to take +_ 20 photos, so it just shows that patience pays off eventually. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did when I took the photo's.

WOW what a great shot of this beautiful butterfly, I agree with you on the patience front being a photgrapher who has taken some butterflies!!
Good colors and DOF.
The only thing i would have done is avoided placing the butterfly in the center and tilted the camera a bit ( That is my view and not a suggestion :-) )

Hello Andre,
A nice capture of this colourful butterfly,it must have been a real thrill to finally nail it after being given the run around!
The DOF is very good and the POV also.
I dont normally like centred compos but it works well here.
Great shot.
