    I agree its a beautiful and very versatile species that can be photographed in many ways and it will look different each time. Example:

      ;) I agree! I was undecided between the photography to choose from, yet here is another angle of the same specimen... Or, should I say, the same approach angle.

      Today's improvised session turned out to be fruity, an excellent evening with the company of beautiful butterflies ;)
      Thanks! Cheers*
