Hi Catherine,
that is one of the top butterfly portraits on TN, and there are many to choose from! Sophisticated, the light against you that sculpts the wings nicely. You were fortunat with the flower, they don't compete withthe butterfly in terms of showiness. I appreciate a lot the fact that you present a species not often seen. Thank you for this.
Best regards

Hi Catherine. A fine close up from the summer. We have had a summers like day today in southern England. You have taken this
Satyrium ilicis with sharp focusing and fine detail in the body and wings. i like the side view so we can see the markings. Your use of the bright light has given natural colours. well taken TFS.
