What I liked on this shot was the bottom tip there was just a dot of light out of a ridge that caught light just above the tip.

Male Orange Tip on larvae food plant Lady's Smock. If you look closely you can see a freshly laid egg of an Orange Tip just below this male. Taken at Kingcombe Meadows West Dorset late evening with both butterfly and background lit by flash.
TIPS - LOOKING CLOSE.. ON FRIDAY! You know it is not easy taking a photo of your fingers while they are holding your phone camera.
These birds (almost) always seem to look in excellent condition, probably the normal viewing conditions of a bright winters day and a healthy diet of high carotene berries helps.
I have included a shot taken a few years ago in comments below of the wax primary feather tips that give the bird its name.
Taken in Kelling, North Norfolk. Approx. 24m away.
The warm weather over the weekend of April 8-9 triggered a large hatch of butterflies at Burton Mere Wetlands. I noted five species - orange tip, small white, green-veined white, peacock and speckled wood with the orange tips present in very large numbers. This is one of them feeding on a green alkanet flower.
A female Orange-tip found roosting during an evening walk. A bit of a breeze made photography a challenge but a few frames came out well enough. It's been a good few weeks for this species locally.
From L'Anse to Summit CN battles a stiff eastbound grade that tops out at 3.04% as they climb the Huron Mountains. L540 is near the top of that Climb and has reached fresh frosted trees but that didn't last as we dropped back down in elevation.
Parnassia fimbriata is native to western North America from Alaska and northwestern Canada to the southern Rocky Mountains, where it is a plant of alpine and subalpine environments. The single flower has five veined, fringed white petals each roughly a centimeter long. At the center of the flower are five stamens and five staminodes (the yellow structures) with edges of many narrow, round-tipped lobes. A staminode is an often rudimentary, sterile or abortive stamen, which does not produce pollen. Apart from the fringed petals I found the shape of the yellow staminodes particularly attractive in this flower.
The Butterfly Place in Westford opened for the season today, as they do every Valentine's Day. I've been looking forward to visiting, and made sure to stop by before school vacation brings big crowds next week.
Burnt Tip Orchid in the unimproved limestone grassland of the Derbyshire "White" Peak District. BTOs are described as "almost extinct". in Derbyshire due mainly to loss of habitat following agricultural land improvement schemes and are limited to a handful of remote sites.
We saw quite a few Orange-tip butterflies on a walk round two of the reservoirs in the Longdendale valley last week.
Another shot in the comment below.
Managed to capture the Male Orange Tip Butterfly today after seeing a few of them about the last week

flowing nectar...
down my lashes' tips
someday
someone will kiss you away,
even before you can reach my lips."
