Green-veined White

Paul Iddon

Spotted this against the foot of a lamp-post by the main road, so I stuck my finger in front of it and amazingly that's where it stayed.

So I dropped down onto the canal tow-path and into the local park with the butterfly still on my thumb, and nudges it onto a daisy. I got the tubes on the Sigma 105 and got a nice abstract close up.

Also have a more enviro-shot with the white on a nearby dandelion too for later.


C&C as always encouraged.

Thanks Brian.

I wondered if it was dying as it was lethargic?

...but it is a cracking shot Paul . I'm envious mate because the only butterflies we get in our garden are cabbage whites and they do not stay still. Love the detail in the eye.

Paul Iddon

Thanks Ian. I also saw Cliff mentioned the flower! Lol...

I thought it was a small white until I checked at home afterwards before posting the pic.
