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.

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

When judging a natural history photography competition, you should at least have some knowledge about natural history.

Take advantage of seasonal variations in nature whilst they are available to get some final shots of Summer.
The colour in this picture gives a warmth that almost renders the subject irrelevant.
