Marbled White (Melanargia galathea).

Male on Agrimony.

 

With my 3rd anniversary of being on Flickr just around the corner I thought I would post my favourite shot of 2017.

This shot was taken as the sun was rising onto the South Downs at Seaford. With a valley behind the subject which had some morning mist still there I was pleased with the black and white effect, matching the butterfly. The only colour coming from the young Agrimony plant that the butterfly was sitting on as it was waking up.

 

As ever, many thanks to all of you that have visited, faved and commented on my pictures during the 3 years. It has encouraged me to improve.
