In my process of learning (still learning) I find that the background plays a very important factor in the result of your image, so pay more attention to the BG

#3 is a Common Rose? #5 a Arhopala?

Hi Alex, ya, BG is very important but sometimes when shooting butt, we really had no choice in choosing the BG. We cannot walk 360 deg round the subject and see which direction will give a better BG.

#1 Ideopsis vulgaris macrina (Blue Glassy Tiger)
#2 Elymnias hypermnestra agina (Common Palmfly)
