Subtle lighting variation makes this work particularly well. One butterfly is a bit brighter than the other, so the rests there... the slight shadow on the other butterfly serves to sepate the two a and give them seperate identities. Beautiful shot, Graham.

Nice capture; BF in the grass are not easy subjects.
Did you use any post-production for the blur in the BG, upper right corner in particular?

Daniel & Loana, Thanks for your comment. I haven't used any blur it's just the effect of distance. This is just about full frame so I was lying on the ground only a few inches away and they took no notice. Graham

Very nice difference in shade on both butterflies. Works well with the darker green background.
