A real beauty Keith! I haven't seen a marbled white for a long time. They love clover and thistles, which must be why the colour tones in your beautiful pictures look so good alongside the butterfly.

I cannot choose between the two shots, as they are both superb.

Main pic for me has the more mellow laid back tones, PiP is more vibrant. Both have razor sharp focus, excellent pair and, like Rosa, I refuse to make a choice. *****

How butterflies are attracted to thistle flowers!
They are right because they are stunning.
Wonderfully captured, Keith

Yes...........I'm starting to see more each day. I'll be glad when it's not so windy though as it makes macro photography so much more difficult.

Glad you like these pics and many thanks Herb.

The butterflies contrast with the thistle is delightful Keith,
Both these images have excellent detail and lovely colours,
Simply wonderful images !

It's still far too breezy over this side for any outdoor close up work,

Keith Burton club has replied to Roger (Grisly) club
Such kind and generous comments Roger............I'm pleased you like this pair of images.

Yes, not ideal weather for macro photography. I sometime pick flowers and take them indoors to photograph close up..............but my wife draws the line and me taking insects inside as well :-))

Have a great Thursday! D

Two perfectly caught photos, both are lovely but the composition in the main shot is just spot on!
10 months ago.
Keith Burton club has replied to Gudrun club
Thanks Gudrun. Composition is always quite difficult with this sort of subject, so I generally shoot a little wider than I need too, and crop to refine the composition as needed.

Glad you like both photos..........and thanks for commenting.
