Burgundy Bokeh
I photographed this male Duke of Burgundy (Hamearis lucina) early in the morning when dew was still on the grass. I lay low in the dew-soaked grass to get a low-angle against the sun. The dew drops blossomed into a bubbly bokeh which I thought produced a rather dream-like quality to the photograph.
This is a rare and declining butterfly so I should have been pleased with any shots of it. But I do enjoy finding new ways of photographing things.
