V8 for me but such a great set - you did have fun this summer
Interesting how over half of these have settled on vegetation where they are effectively camouflaged by colour.

Great idea to put this set together, super images every one
fantastic collection! I got the same regret as Brian, user award is only 1x week, and there is only one vote
Many thanks for the User Award Mara, it is greatly appreciated coming from such a talented photographer as yourself, Ed
Many thanks for all your comments and clicks folks, they are greatly appreciated, Ed
What a wonderful, wonderful set of images. all just so perfect in every way. I like V4 for the lovely color of the fly - all just superb..Jo
What a lovely collection, Ed. Vs 4 and 5 are my favourites, followed by V7 as a veeery close 3rd.
And you call ME the master of the Ixus?? 
Once I'm done with catch-up, I'll be uploading another butterfly. Hope you like it. That'll be a bit later.
