Great image with a 300mm lens ... the pattern detail is fantastic, especially that splash of red

Lovely image, like the composition and the soft greens to set off the swallowtail. I didn't realize that they weren't very common in the UK.

I think it's an unbelievable image knowing that you don't have a lot of opportunities to capture this butterfly... great work!

How nice to have those lovely muted tones in the background. They really set off the butterfly nicely. Love the detail.

This is gorgeous! The separation from the background is phenomenal as well. Very nice!
