These brown butterflies Aphantopus hyperanthus live in our garden each summer. A pair moved in at about the beginning of July. They like the long-grassy nature of parts of our garden.

EM-1 (manual mode), Kiron 105, f16, twin TTL flash, hand-held.

    Thanks.

    Always a problem to know quite how to crop. I always start by considering the classic thirds but give priority to removing peripheral highlights and objects which intrude.

    Just to clarify, in response to a comment elsewhere, the second image is not a crop.

    Thanks, Brian.

    I would have preferred it without the edge of the leaf curled up but a minor defect.
