| Good to see some summer shots! Not lame at all - I would be delighted to achieve something of this quality. The composition, combined with the quizzical pose of the butterfly works well. All in all, good work,a and glad you posted it. |

I agree that it's a skipper of some variety. It's amazing the number of different butterflies that there are when you begin photographing and identifying them.
You managed very good composition, esp where the one antenna is lined up with the stem beyond it. That makes it very easy to see the details there. This is a right nice shot for a P&S camera. |

Wow! Mary has some good information! There are so many helpful people on DPC.
No, it's not lame!! You did really well with this one! Nice color and detail in the leaf and the skipper! You can see all the fuzz and veins and even the stripes on his little antennae. I have a similar one in my portfolio. Not quite as sharp as yours.  I just love their big eyes. They sort of make them cartoon-like. :)

| It's a Skipper! Don't ask me which kind 'cuz a lot of them look rather alike to me. I get tons of them here in the summer on my Butterfly Bush and flowers. They're teensy but rather territorial, so periodically someone tries to land on someone else's flower and they do what looks like an air fighting demonstration before settling on other flowers, far away from each other. You got great detail on the little one here and it's nice to be reminded of warmer weather :-) |
