Very nice active feeding pose and lovely flower. I would prefer to see more even lighting but a good shot in any case.

That's always the problem with butterflies or dragonflies-the light is harshest when they are active and shots like this are most possible. So it is completely understandable and I have been there myself many times. :)

Nice head and body detail, lovely pose - fill flash can help in bright light such as this.

Hi

Always a butterfly to lift your day - and an image that has the same effect


All the best
Matthew

Stunning take. Very tough to shoot these as they never seem to settle down even for a few seconds.
