This was an alternate shot for last week's Macro Monday theme: in a bottle.
I liked both shots and I especially like the bright background of this one.
Marsh Fritillary
Although, as its name suggests the Marsh Fritillary is found mainly in damp, flowery meadows and marshy woodland clearings, some colonies, especially in southern England, exist on drier downland slopes where lush growths of Devil’s-bit Scabious or Small Scabious are found. This is a butterfly in serious decline throughout Europe, and in Britain it has been lost from most central and eastern counties. Drainage, overgrazing and abandonment of damp grasslands have hastened this decline, resulting in fragmentation of suitable habitats and preventing recolonisation from adjacent colonies.
The usual suspects: flowers!
Focus stacked in Helicon Focus from 8 photos.
Minimal editing in Lightroom and Photoshop.
Focus bracketing was made possible in-camera with an experimental app for Sony a6000.
This is the one I wanted to use for the theme, but I was afraid they wouldn't believe me that the inside main shot was less than the 3" measurement!

I stumbled across a Steampunk festival in Eastbourne the weekend before last, and bought a bag of tiny cog wheels at a stall thinking they might just come in handy for a photo. Didn't realise just how soon!
