Wow, that butty sure blends in so well with that flower. Beautiful work with desaturating the "surroundings", making the flower and the butty pop more. Love the framing as well. Have a great night. #:o)

Oh oh !!!! That's a superb Macro shot Henk, for a wonderful butty, a Red Admiral. I've only see one in my life... His colors are a wonder. You're lucky to have the visit of this creature in your garden ! I've find some information for you about this Butty. The Red Admiral (Vanessa atalanta), also known as the Red Admirable, is a well-known colourful butterfly, found in temperate Europe, Asia and North America. The species is resident only in warmer areas, but migrates north in spring, and sometimes again in autumn. This large butterfly is identified by its striking dark brown, red and black wing pattern. The caterpillars feed on nettles, the adults drink from flowering plants like the Buddleia and overripe fruit. In northern Europe, it is one of the last butterflies to be seen before winter sets, often feeding on ivy flowers on sunny days. The Red Admiral is also known to hibernate, re-emerging subjects showing prominently darker colourings than first brood subjects. The butterfly also flies in sunny winter days, especially in southern Europe. Have a nice evening and good week my friend. Hugs

wow, looks fantastic, excellently done!!!! :=)
