Nice image, but what really struck me was the colouration, almost as if a monochrome mask has been applied to the main wings.

A classic butterfly shot, everything well focused and a subdued background.

Nice shot.

we have a cousin in our garden and they are just so hard to get a good shot of. Well done

I think the monochrome colours give them the ability to hide when they need to and flash bright and intimidating 'eyes' if a predator gets too close.

Super shot
