It is not a good butterfly year here in the Netherlands. It has been raining a lot the last months. now we have had a nice, very warm week. I don't think the butterflies like rain that much. The ones you always see the first are the Whites. Here is one sipping on a blackberrie flower.

Excellent, Ellen. Nice, balanced comp with an excellent floral perch, a clean BG, and the butterfly profiled perfectly in the plane of focus. Your focus is right on the money. I also like the soft green shades and white throughout the image. Very attractive. :toast:

I really like the combination of soft light greens and whites and how you've spread them throughout the picture.
