Copper on Blue does it again.

 


Copper on Blue does it again. This time it won the best overall image in the DPS's Annual Competition. My most successful image to date. Four gold medals, a best in show, plus it reached the final ten of GPOTY. Not bad for a little butterfly.

Sunflowers - Helianthus 'Lemon Queen'

 


Our field of gold is in full bloom. I find it more and more difficult each year to take a picture which is different from previous years.
