I feel a little sheepish about posting these. I know they don't measure up to some of the macros I've seen in here. But oh well.

Don, if this were me, on image 48002, I'd clone out the butterfly.

The lighting on those plants is simply stunning.

Thanks Jeff. At that time my ambition was to catch a butterfly in flight.

Thanks Jeff.  At that time my ambition was to catch a butterfly in flight.

Don, I have found that while learning to shoot in the many genres this fascinating hobby offers, I have had many 'happy accidents', which not only helped me learn what not to do in one genre, but exactly what to do in a different genre.

Exploit and be damned, is what I say.
