[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Taken indoors at Butterfly World near Edinburgh. ihad travelled up to Edinburgh with TL member Jonela to try and take some shots of an old castle but the weather was terrible so we tried to find somewhere indoors to go.
First time I have visited this place but found it quite interesting.
Experimented with different settings to try and capture some decent shots, I found it quite difficult to try and capture them as the flew around stopping for only a few seconds.

Using Paint Shop Pro X2
Cropped.
Resized for TL.
Added a border.

Hi Derek,
It seems that I missed the Butterfly World attraction when I visited Edinburgh, but thanks to you I can see it on photo. :) Great macro with excellent focus on the subject and nicely blurred background. I also like its vivid tones, good job! tFS:
Best regards,

Apart from the weather it was a great day out I'm glad you got some good shots when we were there. This is brilliant the details very crisp and the colours are brilliant great shot worth sweat5ing over.

Très belle photo de papillon aux couleurs superbes. Bel arrière plan et jolie netteté sur l'insecte.
Amicalement

Long time since I've been to the butterfly place, but remember it being quite challenging.

You have certainly risen to the challenge with this exceptional shot.
