[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A warm autumn afternoon made this butterfly, Small Tortoiseshell (Nymphalidae), Aglais urticae, to do some of it's last flights in year 2005.

Actually it was very difficult to get a picture of this butterfly! When I got closer it did fly away 3-4 times so I had to run after it! :-) Some butterflies seems very sensitive!

So naturally beautiful, human eye perspective and splendid colors. Very chic, good depth of field and chromatics, sharpness is exceptional as well.

It's a beautiful butterfly Henrik.
We have had a bad year with butterflies up here, maybe it was better in the south. Some have shown up in the autumn;-)
Nice colours and good detials.
Well done.

Very nice top-down shot.
Your butterbly is sharp and have nice colors.
TFS, Laurent
