It's not the greatest butterfly photo, but I think this Tortoiseshell on a buddleia flower makes a nice desktop. Hope you agree...

I think it's pretty hard to make good butterfly shots. They are so damn quick to move away as soon as you just move an inch of a finger... Nice one Simon. I'll try and shoot something similar this summer but I don't think I'll top you... Last summers effort at this motif was a miserable faliure. ^_^ Not one decent photo in 50 to 70 shots... I guess I had a bad day then.

It's a beautiful shot, Si, and the orange color stands out well against the purple flowers. I had a huge butterfly bush once, along with swarms of gorgeous butterflies and hummingbird moths. And it smelled wonderful on warm spring evenings! Thanks for reminding me.

Art is the perception of the creator. Meaning is the perception of the viewer. acceptance is the perception of society.

Good capture of the Tortoiseshell Simon. I had difficulty getting a shot off at one this past weekend. I likethe color flower that it chose to land on, that gave you a nice contrast to work with! Thank you :))

Many thanks to you all - I'm glad you agreed :-) Getting them to stay still is a problem, Klas - we'll have to try Cem's technique of talking to them......

Simon and Klas, I'm looking forward to those shots of you talking to the butterflys. Bringing them flowers as lovely as these should certainly add to their level of submission. ;)-

I know how hard it is to make a descent butterfly picture, they just won't sit still long enough. You have done a great job capturing this one. Well done...my compliments.
