Not heard of this event before - looks like it provided some great photo opportunities

Super shot, great detail in the white plumage

Definite improvement :liked:

Well seen and well executed

Beautiful My first thought as well

Super shot David, and yes it is a Red Admiral. Looks as if a fair proportion of its left hand wing has gone missing. I have noticed that most of the butterflies around here are starting to look a bit ragged.

Super image David. Detail and clarity are top drawer

Great shot David, focus is spot on as is sharpness and exposure. I sympathise with your comments about the 1.4 convertor (here and in the forum). My first experiences with it were very disappointing - perseverance has paid off, however I still tend to use the 150-450 without the convertor and crop the final image. Most of my BIF shots are taken at speeds of 1000th or greater which can lead ...

The colour version was beautiful and atmospheric, this has more drama (particularly in the sky) and a timeless feel about it. Well worth the extra effort you put into the edit.
