Butterfly

A beautfiul butterfly with the colours enhanced by late afternoon light.



This butteryfly was captured in the beautiful gardens of Chatsworth house. It was getting towards the end of the day and this helped get deep saturated colours. Unusually I prefer the subject dead centre in this shot - I usually place subjects according to the rule of thirds. Taken on 1DIII + 70-200 f/2.8 L II @ 1/500s, f/5 with a dash of fill flash from a 580EXII.
