About This Image

Out walking today - lovely speckled evening light

Feedback Requested

Just any suggestions welcome. I had the wrong lens - needed more reach - but loved the colours and the co-incedental speckled wood butterfly was a bonus. Composition mainly on strongly directional evening light which was a bit harsh and produced some non optimal light and dark bits. One does direct the eye to the butterfly. Amazing hazel galls and nuts

Had my flash but don’t think it contributed much at that distance I was away.

Never taken a natural woodland pic like this before.
Any and all comments and suggestions welcome
