Common Blue - Favourite Photo of 2011

Thanks Susie, i`m glad you like it. It was a lot of hard work to get the picture of that particular female.

Although this photo is a bit cluttered, I like the slanting light of late-afternoon sun and it shows key features of both male and female uppersides - the inner and outer fringes on the male and a sprinkling of blue scales on the female.
