A fantastic inflight shot Tim, brilliant timing once again. He may be making a mad dash and be quick as a flash but he can't evade your long lens!
I can only imagine how hard this type of shot is... It would probably be easier if set up in a 'natural studio' with an artificial canopy which I assume you didn't do so full marks for persevering and getting it pretty darn good! It's a shot which for me would have been great if the butterfly had been flying into the frame and not sideways or away. Minor niggle from a hardened critic. Otherwise the combination of colours and focus are spot on and make for a pleasing image Tim.
Well done.
Julian
