Monopod canon 7D Canon 180mm macro ISO 500+1.0 1/640 sec f8.
Taken on a breezy day - just couldn't get that wing tip quite sharp.
All C&C welcome.

Another nice blue image, Jonathan. Slightly OOF wing tip not troubling at this resolution, and the sharp near antenna is a plus. I wish you had a bit of space between the seed head and the top of the frame. I like the BG, but it looks like it could use a little NR, and perhaps some gentle burning of the brightest areas.

Hi Jon, we are so used to conventional comps with the subject 'posed upright' so I like the change here. Lovely colours throughout the butterfly's wing, and just love how the probiscus pops out in a 3D effect.

Im not actually up and running yet, will let you know when I am. :w3

Mitch - cheers - yes you make good points, I seem to recall looking at the space at the top but I obviously forgot to do something about it!!
Stu - OK bud, speak soon!

Good shot of this beautiful butterfly. I like the composition. Great sharpness on the butterfly. Background is good, not too distracting.
A really nice shot.
