    Tortoiseshell butterfly

    The sun came out after a cloudy and cool morning, so I went out with my 100mm macro lens and, lo and behold, a tortoiseshell butterfly landed obligingly on this shrub. Hand-held and manual focus
    Nice to see them back in the garden.

        Thanks Donald and Stan for your comments. I will try the tighter crop.

          Great shot, very sharp. Hope you don't mind, but here's one I caught earlier too, a little ropey looking compared to yours but suspect its made it through the winter so deserved a photo.

            It looks much lighter in colour doesn't it unless it is a trick of the light? Interesting comparison.
