Well it is pefect. I just junked a pair of "tomy H's" pants that sported all of these browns. Beautiful.


HOWIE

PS:
I walked rows of thistles today (and on other days) but I did not see any butterflies. In fact, the dog and I started down one hill and got into the thick of them. Nasty and 4 feet high.

This is an exceptional photo, Martin. Well done.

Thanks for the compliment. This was taken with my Canon G3 (f/5.6 @ 1/320) and macro setting. I took it in RAW format and edited it in Photoshop to get max detail using curves and USM. I guess I was just lucky to be in the right place at the right time. It didn't hang about for long and I got one shot at it. I was thrilled to find it in sharp focus when I got home! :)

Regards
Martin.
