I hadn't twigged the "appraisal" - not that I have any comments for change. I'm going to try for some butterflies and insects this year. I've generally not got the stalking skills, they always fly off before I can get anywhere close. I've seen quite a few orange tips already but I've only got a couple of top down shots with the long lens and not showing the wonderful underwing detail you have here.

Butterfly photos aren't my area, but is it generally desirable for the near wing to be in focus or accepted that focus on the head will likely leave the rest out of focus? Appreciate focus stacking not an easy option in the wild.

Appreciate focus stacking not an easy option in the wild. In an ideal world you'd want everything in focus. Like all wildlife, I think sharp eyes are the priority and you can get away with some softness elsewhere, especially if it means you can isolate the subject against an uncluttered background. |

That reminded me to have a play with my in-camera focus stacking option. Having just done that it seems to be moderately useful for static subjects but far from perfect. Very clever though, basically takes loads of frames and then using the touch screen you can select which bits you want in focus.
