Sharing a meal of Knapweed nectar

[Geoff F]

Brimstone butterfly and an Eristalis arbustorum hoverfly.

An enjoyable composition Geoff. I find it peaceful as they don't fight but they share

[John 2]

That was a good capture Geoff. Good comp as well.

[IzzieK]

I agree...it is a nice peaceful composition...Good processing too. I guess recalibrating my ASUS monitor also makes this image and others I have looked at so far this morning, more natural looking, too.

Great capture Geoff!

[Ziggy]

Nice catch of both feeding.

[NorthernFocus]

Sometimes timing is everything. Well not quite everything. It also takes a bit of skill to make the most of it.

Nicely done.

[Geoff F]

Thanks for the replies.

With this scene, I was waiting for the butterfly to get itself into a suitable position and I was a bit disappointed with also seeing the rear end of a hoverfly in the image, but then it turned around and I knew it was now or never !

Here is an odd angle of a Peacock.



But a pity that the antennae weren't better balanced.

Also, a bit of luck and jiggling my position produced this pair of small Athalia rosae sawflies.

[Geoff F]

Had a bit of a think, then a re edit of the Peacock to balance its antennae.

Excellent images...
