Cephus Blue Ringlet female, Orito, Colombia

I wasn't planning on sharing this because of the odd angle, but happened to run into the species ID, so figured to register it as a species capture anyway. Reference:

  Our guide used the term "record shot". Meaning, useful evidence that you did see the species, yet not a great pic. So here's a record shot :) Posted 6 years ago

      Nah, your set is fine. And even in record shot situations, first and most important goal is met (to get it on the platform), after that you'll surely come across it again for the artful shot. And sometimes wildlife just does not cooperate. Posted 6 years ago
