Hope I Don't Get Banned

[Ziggy]

for posting another butterfly . C&C welcome and appreciated.

[NorthernFocus]

You sure do a good job of catching them with contrasting colored flowers and/or BG. This is another one nicely done. Crazy detail.

You can post as many of these as you like, as far as I'm concerned

[DanK]

nicely done. A very appealing image, and a good capture.

[Geoff F]

Perfectly photographed.

[Rainforest]

Pretty! pretty. don't stop ;-). Just curious, is that a full frame shot? ...I keep trying.

As a judge would say you are a recidivus offender. So long as you maintain this standard of offending who cares?

[DigitalScape]

Keep them coming, Jim!

[Urbanflyer]

gorgeous!

Butterflies and moths are notoriously difficult to capture well than is generally imagined. The edge of the nearest wing tip appears to be very slightly less pin sharp than other areas although given the numerous tiny 'hairs'; this is not surprising.

I like the combination of pale yellow/cream with the purple of the plant which works well. Also you have captured it nicely, side on to minimise the usual difficulties of the wide DoF required for protruding parts of the insect that occur when taken head on or from any other angle.

Do you have any idea of the species/botanical name of this one?

I recommend banning your images for enviously scoring 10/10 all the time

I second Nandakumar.

Thank you all for the kind words, more critters to come.
