Apologies for the reupload, spotted something!

One of the biggest butterflies I've ever seen.

I went out the other day with the idea of slowing down, setting up the shot properly and trying to really get it right - its taking me a long time to learn but I have to admit, Im delighted with this shot.

I agree: you are right to be delighted. Haven't seen one of these before: and it's nice to see a side-on view of wings as opposed to the more conventional shot (and I'd like to know if the insides are as pretty too).
