Plant portraits may not be the most creative, but then, nature has already done that for you.
I love the extra detail that you notice in a photograph that you miss at first glance – in this case the clarity and delicacy of the wings.

Most of the picture ticks the boxes for composition and sharpness, there is just one little problem…..

In this natural history shot I made a conscious effort to concentrate on the composition as well as the sharpness of the subject.

Landscape photography is not just about taking long distance shots of hills and trees, sometimes a macro lens is the best option for taking shots of the ‘intimate landscape’.

Whilst others were looking at owls, I found a rather nice weevil in a farm hedgerow.
