It was a beautiful evening in the Garden, with no wind – so it was perfect for both flower and insect photography. There were lots of bees and a couple of butterflies still feeding off the flowers in the round bed. I was attracted to this small copper butterfly, which on the blue Eryngium flowers, posed perfectly, complementing the colour combination of the scene. I combined two layers together in post-processing; one sharp, and one out-of-focus.
