That's a beauty Alan. I love the colors and all the detail you captured in that fringe and around the head. A little more DoF might have helped keep all the wing outlines sharp but that's always tough with live macro subjects.

Great job!

Great shot!

Thank you both. Yes, DOF was an issue. The Silvery Blues don't seem to spread their wings perfectly flat, so it's difficult to get all of the wings in focus even at smaller apertures. And they don't stay in one place long enough for stacking!

What a beautiful creature. Butterflies are one of my favorite summer photo subjects. For the record this was not an easy shot to capture. Well done.
