This is a lovely collage of this beautiful butterfly! I like how it's sitting on the drawing of a flower in two of the photos. It's nice that you were able to photograph the butterfly with the wings open and closed.

This is a pretty butterfly. I like the poses you captured and how they show off the markings of the wings from the top and the underside. The colors are well captured.

The field guide and the butterflies are excellently photographed. The photos are well focused and exposed. The photos are excellently assembled on the black background. The collage is well composed and framed. The composition is balanced
I also appreciate the interesting information in your comments very much.

    Thanks a million for your complementary review on the Small Tortoiseshell Butterfly alighted on the Reader's Digest guide to Wild flowers of Britain, the flower on the cover in the wild might attract a Tortoiseshell Butterfly.

    Thanks a million for your complementary review on this unexpected Butterfly found flapping around my office this morning. In the Wild it could easily be found on the Wild Pansy on the cover.

Interesting composition with a book and content exultation - showing the butterflies in different positions is helpful to understand the subject
your arrangement is well done , every part is clear and sharp and the picture has perfect contrast and lighting
a good composition, with a nice initial impression that makes curious in knowing more

A beautiful butterfly and a equally nice collage. It seems perfectly placed on the field guide and almost looks to be a part of the cover art. All 4 images are images are very good and the total effect is beautiful.

Comment from Charlie Newman


Your descriptive commentary on this small butterfly was very informative and educational. Your timing was excellent in capturing it on the wild flower book. Your collage is very interesting as it provides multiple perspectives of the butterfly. Very nicely done.
