Love the bokeh, the flower and most of the butterfly .

Yeah, they're pesky little devils and only actually land when you don't have a camera. Or have a whackin' great telephoto mounted.

Swallowtails here in Canada are a bright yellow. Nice to see a Welsh version.

That's just lovely! Like the fact I can actually see that he's having lunch. His lack of color I find beautiful and a nice contrast to the flower.

Very good indeed. F2.8, too. Most impressive.

I reckon its a cracker too, its not perfect by a long shot but it is VERY NICE!

if you'd had it all in focus I think that would have been a very very saleable image, next time use superglue on the flowers then you can have more attempts

Really nice photo. I like the square crop too, it works very well.

Cheers, Kris.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.
