They are tricky to catch! I've made several attempts myself. You did very well and his position in the comp makes for a nice desktop too!

Nice shot, fra, it seems not easy to catch a buterfly with the camera, mostly stoping by the flowers...:) and itīs a nice one, maybe a piece of wing had been left on her attempts by some enchanted forest...:D Great caption!!

Hey Ian, it's not too bad and as others have said it can be very hard to capture them for that great shot.

Ian, I took about 50 shots of butterflies till I was satisfied with one so perservere my friend! You are but a teeny tiny bit away from perfection with this one! ~Mary~

Nice pic...which one of you shot the wing off? I may have to speak to the Queen about this...trying to get enough points to get Knighted.

Capturing the butterfly can be difficult but controlling what it lands on can be more so...lucky you got a beautiful butterfly on some beautiful flowers. Well done. Framing perfect as usual.

Butterflies are hard to get as they tend to flit around rather quickly. I think you did a very nice job on this one!
