Excellent work as always Danny, love the bright blues on the rim of its wings !! Wonderful capture !!

A UK fav butterfly and what a capture you got here mate:)
If there were a million of them it would still be a beautiful butterfly. I don't know if you've captured the prettiest of the bunch but I know you have held auditions and perhaps even allowed a few to land on you so I will take your word that this is the finest image of the finest member of the flock.
