Hi Donna

A lovely composition with great colours. The butterfly is well placed in the shot - which also shows the habitat well.

Hi Donna,
Wonderful shot of this beautiful butterfly with lovely colours and patterns on its wings. Very impressive sharpness and details and fine focus. Excellent POV to portray this ambience and the green leaves as BG illutrates the habitat perfectly. The yellow flowers add such nice tone to the shot. Very nicely composed. Kudos.

Hello Donna,
You're good at taking butterfly shots at a distance to show the whole of the butterfly sharply in its natural environment.
However, I have to correct the ID. This is the Silver Bordered Fritillary (Boloria selene) another species of Brush-footed butterfly.
Nice shot!
TFS and regards, Ivan

Hi Donna

What a really nice shot of this butterfly and the flowers around it.
The composition is really excellent in the shot and the detail is stunning.
I do find the BG a bit grainy though, but think my screen shows it more than most... but that is just me and my thoughts....
Better than I have managed so I can not really be too picky!
