Excellent shot. Now would you please tell me how you managed to persuade a Blue to open its wings long enough to be photographed?

I could tell you, but then I'd have to...

Seriously, though, the key to success in this regard is to conceal one's excitement, remain calm and project an air of supreme indifference to the presence of the butterfly. Oh, and just happen to have the good fortune to be in the right place at the right time

LOL. And the 3-D effect works really well against that bokeh. Fetching colouration in this specimen. Bravo.
