[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hi Folks , today I have this small skipper called an arctic skipper , it is common throughout Canada found mostly on wooded pathways , or clearings , some times in grass land , it prefers damp areas. it can be found from May to mid July.

this one I believe is a male , it will sit in the grass waiting for a female to pass then pursue her. this butterfly has one generation per year.

thanks for stopping in
regards
Art

Art,

I cannot give you a decent critique as I don't photograph insects and such. (I might actually give it a try this year but so far I've been too busy to even think about it). However, I like you how composed this shot, you've got great detail and very good sharpness. Overall, its a very enjoyable shot. TFS.

Best Regards,

Martin

Hello ARt, The POV is fine as I can see the eyes but the focus is slightly OOF on the wings side. From the shot it appears that you had difficulty in reaching the fly. Ganesh
