Super detail Ed and I prefer v2. You must have built up quite an important record of which butterflies you've found where over the summer months.

As Ann says you have managed to capture so many butterfly shots this summer despite conditions being against them: have hardly seen any up here at all this year, never mind try to capture one.
Two more very good shots, Ed.

So this is what the female looks like. Nowhere near so 'dandified' as the male, but that is common in nature.
Excellent as usual, Ed.

I was going to say that I don't know where you keep finding them
........................................ but that's not true as you always give the location - another beauty to add to your collection Ed SmileSmile

I thought this specimen looked rather good Ade just like your good self! There were much tattier looking specimens around, I honestly thought that this one was looking in good nick!

Two strangely different variants Ed. "Whilst number one looks quite beautiful, version number two seems to be distorted somewhat?" "

Maybe it's my eyes playing up?".

Many thanks for all your c&c's folks, they are much appreciated. V2 may look a bit distorted as its wings were partly folded and the butterfly moved as I took the shot, Ed
