Lovely shot. We have had some sunshine for a change and the butterflies have appeared not numerous but a larger number of species

Good focal length and great macro. The light is wonderful and the butterfly seems to realize that it is being photographed. Best wishes, Anton.

I had the same reaction as Anton -- your winged subject seems to be posing for his portrait. And a fine portrait it is.
