Very good focus and clarity on the butterfly Fred. It is quite a pretty image with the butterfly perched on top of the pink flowers. Nice blurred green background and lighting which highlights the subject.

Wow! This is a super duper shot of nature. The colours are fantastic and the soft dark background pushes the butterfly and flowers to the front. Finely composed and timed, this makes for interesting viewing! A well deserve 6 for you!

Comment from Ray Gordon
Two unknowns just came together to become something of beauty. This is a superb capture with colorful purple shadows and so well focused showing the intricate details of the butterfly and the bokeh adds to the three demential effect. This is a beautiful piece and very sixy. Ray

Comment from Charlotte Morse
Lovely butterfly shot Fred!
Beautifully focused, showing wonderful detail on the butterfly, right down to the downy edges of the wings!
Nice dof, giving a good blurry background (might have been worth blurring the stem in the top left corner, but I know you don't like to do a lot of editing).
Colours and saturation both good too - many would have been tempted to oversaturate, I'm glad you weren't.

So nice to see something different near your home Fred. You have composed this image nicely with the detail of the butterfly shown clearly.
The colors appear natural and your focus is good on the butterfly whilst blurring background.

Hi super, Wish I could help you with the name of the butterfly but I don't know what type it is either. I do know I like the shot! The focus shows the fringe on the butterflies wing beautifully. Nice shot My Friend! :o) Nancy

Fred,
I think it might be a rare Brown Angus Butterfly ~ Aricia agestis it's wings open wide to the sunshine as it sucks nectar from the pink flower head. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
