Another Eglwys Nunydd Reservoir butterfly taken a few days ago; a little frayed around the edges by the weather we've been having.
C & C welcomed

Nice sharp shot of a hutchinsoni comma, Ray, and well exposed too, but it's plonked a bit too central for good composition, which is probably why this otherwise good shot hasn't had any comments. You may have enough free space around to maybe twist it through 10 degrees or so and offset it to one side a little.

Agree with eccles. Always try to give bugs more room in the direction they are facing.

The comma works well with the spikey background but alas have to agree with Eccles.

Hi Ray
I agree with the above really nice shot perfectly exposed but as Eccles says you've got enough room to crop it a bit to improve composition
