An almost fringeless butterfly, settling down to roost on the seedhead of a cistus, captured in the late evening as the sun was about to disappear.

Two gorgeous shots.
I think I prefer version 2 today - the butterfly is nearly the 'right way up'. I don't know why, but (and of course this is just my opinion) I always think it's easier on the eye when the butterfly is the right way up. I think had version one been rotated 90deg clockwise I would have preferred version 1. 
2 super images Carol, great detail captured in both,
Fred.
I think I marginally prefer V2 but it's close. Both are beautifully poised and have a soft, sunlit gentleness in the light and tones.

Morning Carol. Don't mind the orientation in v1, I never know which way up I am most of the time anyway!! v2 I prefer though, for the diagonal composition and the slightly darker background. Two fine images.

Spot on in all respects Carol, V1 for me,
Geoff.
Love both Carol excellent light and clarity, a big shortage of these insects in Wales this year.
I am a bit worried about Nathan! I know he has not been well and I see he has been removed from the site, does any one know if he is all right! if you do know please put our minds at rest.
Regards
Trev.
Two real beauties here Carol (better than spiders!!)

Two cracking close-ups here, Carol, top-notch as always

Have you got any upside down ones as I tend to prefer those! lol. what a lovely couple of shots, the DOF is very good the detail is top drawer, I like both and will rotate them when I get them home! ha ha ha 35c. I would not last long in that heat mind you got the heating on here! OH! happy days, regards Leon.
Two terrific close ups of this member of the blue family, I'm with the majority in favouring v2
