[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
English Swallowtail butterfly. Confied to the Norfolk Broards, I managed to grab this image after wandering around Hikling Broard for the whole day. This was the only time I saw a butterfly land - well hover. My entires days shoot was 4 frames in less than a second!
Needless to say I'll be back there later in the year.

Hello Roy, very nice shot. I like the sharpness of the wings. Too bad the head got out of focus. Still a fine composition, with nice contrast. Thanks for sharing. Gabriel

Very clear shot, we can see the fine details of this beautiful butterfly.
Cheers!

Beautiful details!

Attractive shot of this good looking species. POV, DOF and details are very good. Worth the effort at the end of a hard day.

Hello Roy,
wonderful capture of that pretty and powerful, quick moving swallowtail sucking nectar in a restless, hovering position. Lovely to see the transparency of wings in the backlight.
Excellent shot. Must have been exciting to take.
Looking forward for this years reports from Norfolk.
Thank you! Best regards,
Peter
