A perfect capture!

Thanks Eunice!

Well done my dear Keith***************** Thinking of you !

Thank you so much Roséha.

Splendid colorful and elegant compositon but the wings are superlative!!
Perfect moment to take them, Keith!

You're very kind Judite...........thank you so much!

Lovely shot. We have had some sunshine for a change and the butterflies have appeared not numerous but a larger number of species

Thanks very much Colin. The numbers here are starting to pick up, but this recent wet and windy weather won't have helped.

Good focal length and great macro. The light is wonderful and the butterfly seems to realize that it is being photographed. Best wishes, Anton.

Thank you so much Anton........you're very kind.

My 40-150mm zoom lens is perfect for photographing butterflies and bees etc.

Lovely colours and fine detail set on beautiful bokeh Keith,
I like the light and the nice markings, an excellent capture!
I don't remember us having a still day for weeks, and it has chucked down again today.

Thank you very much Roger.........such kind and generous comments as always. I'm pleased you like this one.

We got caught in the rain today and yesterday. When are we going to get a summer?

I had the same reaction as Anton -- your winged subject seems to be posing for his portrait. And a fine portrait it is.

It's the force of my personality John............I don't allow them to move until I've got the shot :-))

I wish.....................

Stunning

Thank you kind lady!

They love this flower Keith. So good to see many more butterflies this year than last!
A beautiful shot.

Cheers Rosa..........I'm always happy when you like my photos!

I'm pleased you like it so much Jean Paul........thanks very much.

Ein sehr schön gestaltetes Foto! Mit gefällt, wie das Licht durch die Flügel scheint und in der Vergrößerung erkennt man die interessanten Augen.

Thank you for your kind comments Wilhelm.

I was very lucky Roland.........glad you like the photo.

Ce papillon s'appelle la Piéride du chou (Pieris brassicae)
