Hello Oz,
A nice shot of this one of the bunch of similar fritillaries :-) Very nice light and details of wing pattern. Especially I like the white margin - well visible but not too bright.
Best greetings,
Michal

Hello Oz,
Fine portrait of a Napweed Fritillary, sharply and well composed against a contrasting BG that shows off its colours.
I like the way the antennae show up against the flower.
TFS and best wishes, Ivan

Hi Oz

Another wonderful butterfly macro from you!
The levels of detail and their definition are really impeccable here and the DOF is outstadning, blurring everything behind the butterfly.
Charming colors, excellent exposure and nice framing, as well.

Bravo and TFS
