Obliging Red Admiral

[billtils]

Found this one sunning itself in a somewhat unexpected spot - the garage wall next to the door which I had opened. Having become used to these creatures flying away at any hint of a camera I could hardly believe that it waited the 2 minutes until I dug out the needful.




Not much I can do about the background - perhaps paint a floral mural on it?

Nice shot.

[Ziggy]

Nice catch. They do like to soak up that late day heat.

Lovely; yet i would prefer a 90 degree clockwise move

Wouldn't disagree with that Nanda, but the background makes it more of a fun shot than a serious one so I wasn't too concerned about orientation on this occasion.

What a very pretty sight to see with this colourful one. I thought at first the background was on the ground...maybe you position the image upright then it will not be unique.

Interesting colors. Well captured in spite of the unnatural looking setting.

I realize it's only imagination, but it seems to have the same expression on its face as my dog when I force her to sit for a photo.
