Vannessa cardui, painted lady.
The painted lady is a remarkable butterfly. It is not a permanent resident anywhere in Europe but arrives here in the spring from North Africa and breeds continuously throughout the summer.

Hi John,
Today, we posted the same subject (The Butterfly of the year) ;)
Your composition is nice though bit disturbed in focusing, but overall it works OK. The sharpness is nicely done and the POV is great too, however, the left wing of the butterfly has soft focus :(
Hoping to see better post from you in the days to come :)
Keep it up!
regards,
Paras
