You've caught a great POV, with the sky providing very good contrast to the subject..
Sharpness, DOF, light, colors, and detail are excellent as well.
Very well done and have a Great Weekend!

Privet Andy.
Correct composition, pleasant for an eye of colour and excellent detailed elaboration make this photo. To smoke harmful - I have stopped to smoke 9 years ago at once and for ever. I think, that for 9 years I and have bought for this saved money to myself all the equipment for a photo. Good luck to you to win this vice.

Hi Andy!
I'm sorry to hear this bad news about your father...I hope everything will be ok!
I was smoker only for three months, but of course I wish you luck :-)
Peacock looks excellent - very rare POV - butterfly against blue sky. Great exposure, both insect and sky are colorfull and well visible. Good work!

Hi Andy
I've been missing you around TN and I hope things will improve with your father. By the time you read this you could be over your initial battle with the cancer stick and hopefully you overcame it. Good for you.
This is a great little beauty with very interesting wing patterns. The composition is good with the diagonal twig and the butterfly at an almost right-angle with it. Stunning colours, excellent details and super exposure.
Very well done and TFS.
Regards
Loot
