Hi Fabs,

Very nice, no flash with a 200-400, thanks for the inspiration to try this combo myself.

I cropped a little off the bottom with my browser window to get rid of the 2 little black vertical lines and it looks even better I think.

Lovely!

Oh how I miss the butterflies of my youth in the West Indies, not many colorful varieties here in Southern Australia.

I'm with Robert; cropping out the two darker stems(?) from the bottom helps. Perhaps just cropping to the top of the left one and then masking out the rest of the one near centre would work too, leaving a bit more of the leafy green. Too bad the blighters always land on the wrong flower and you end up with one OOF in the foreground. Nice that you were able to hold enough depth of field to get the fore wings and body sharp despite being wide open.

Hi Fabs
A nice wide open shot of this lovely butterfly, and a great job of getting the focus where it should be
All the best mate
