Butterfly

Butterfly house, Edinburgh, Scotland.

This glorious creature looked remarkably similar to the dead leaf on which it was resting. the similarity of colouring was quite remarkable. I adopted a plane view parallel to the body of the butterfly and used a shallow depth of field to throw the background out of focus. The butterfly seems critically sharp where it should be.
