Quite difficlut to photograph these little butterflies during the sunny days as they are continuously flying around. Fortunatly I found one which was resting and took a couple of shots. Handheld and with fill fash.

Hi Matt,
Very well composed shot of the little blue. POV is excellent and the colours are very vivid. I like the blurred BG although I notice some noise in it. Did you sharpen post capture?

Hi Matthew,
Nice shot of this little blue butterfly. Good POV and composition, They have very nice blue wings but most of the time they don't open it.
well done.

Nice picture. I think it's a Polyommatus icarus but it's a southern species so I could be wrong ;-)
Thanks for sharing
