Autumn butterfly

| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
| The butterflies in the fifth picture were photographed in autumn in the UK, on the flowers of ragwort. The lower one is very clearly 'caerulopunctata' - in other words, it has a row of blue spots on the dark of the hindwing, just before the submarginal orange band. The upper insect is tattier, but also shows these spots. On the East Suffolk coast this form can be quite common. It is always worth checking and interesting to know roughly the frequency of caerulopunctata. In the south of Europe, and especially in hot summers and second (or third) broods, a form with the copper of the forewing more or less suffused with darker brown is worth looking out for. |

Hi John,
Interesting picture. A beautiful macro.
Have a good evening,
Adrian
Hi John,
Lovely butterfly and the beautiful flowers. Unfortunately, the focus is pretty soft on the the subject, but it works OK for the whole picture, as this is quite an eye-catching work at least when seen as thumbnail.
My suggestion would be to try better posting next time. Good use of the DOF and aperture, are important in the case of macros. From your given equipments in your profile, you possess nice DSLR camera and I think you should try more and more shots in the day to come :) So good luck, my friend!
This is just my personal opinion so please feel free to (dis)agree :)
with best regards,
Paras
