The Owl Butterfly gets its name from the large distinctive spots on its wings which resemble owls eyes. Quite a cunning defence mechanism I think.

Wanted to catch the dtail in its eye which I found facinating. I think I just about managed this though struggling with such a narrow DOF.

f22, 1/3 sec, ISO250, fill flash, full frame.

Thanks for looking and hope you like it.

Brian.

A beautiful capture. The eye is fascinating and you've caught it well. I'd love to see the butterfly as a whole. . . (hint, hint)!!
Good shot.

Thanks everyone for your comments.

Brian
