My best Butterfly Photo

[40737015]

Hi All,

This is a Argynnis paphia (Silver-washed fritillary) butterfly:

I saw it fluttering about and positioned myself to avoid a busy background and waited a few seconds to see where it would land and it settled in the exact spot I hoped it would.

Only decent photo I got in nearly three hours but worth it.

A very good shot ...

Thank you.

I wanted to try shallow DOF as possible to really blur the background and i think it worked in this shot.
