Anya says:
‘I spotted this Common Blue butterfly perching on some dry wheatgrass ready to roost as the sun was setting. I set up low in the grass, and cleared the area surrounding the subject so there were no distractions in front of the butterfly. Timing was crucial, as there was only a brief moment when the sun aligned perfectly behind the butterfly.

I really enjoy being among nature in the great outdoors, and this has inspired me to take many photographs of butterflies. ’
