Such a drab looking butterfly, but doesn't it make a beautiful image with the pretty flower he's settled on.

A super job you've done Stanley - very well done my friend.

What a great close up detailed and colourful image against a great backdrop Stanley, well done.

A most beautiful image of this skipper perched delicately on a lovely flower, Stanley. The backdrop colours match those of the insect and the flower. Really good detail too.
