Today we were in Amsterdam, and we visited Artis, which is the Zoo there. In 2006 they opened a butterfly garden, so of course we checked it out.

Gorgeous butterflies were there, some even came to sit on my hand !

This is one of the many shots i took there

I think this is a shot of very high quality! I can say that, since I have - till now - no shot of a butterfly, that is not out of focus. Yours is perfect clear and sharp and I like how you made the background a bit blurry, to allow me to focus on the beautyful guy. Great, great work!

What a beautifull image you have posted for us today. I am glad that someone else in my friendsgroup is starting to post butterflies as well now :-) as you said, it is just one of the many shots you took, so i hope you will post more from your visit of the Amsterdam Zoo. For this photo, a 10/10 is realy deserved, wonderful shot.
(overigens, dieren park Emmen schijnt de mooiste vlindertuin van Nederland te hebben, ben er zelf nog niet geweest.)

Tim's right... now that I think about it, you go to the zoo a lot lol! Good for you ^^ especially when you bring back photos like this one ;) I have yet to take photos of butterflies, but I'm not sure I'm well equipped for that kind of shot... Anyway, I'm glad you and many others are, it would be a shame to never capture these beautiful insects on photo!

THE CAMERA'S ONLY JOB is to get out of the way of making photographs. It's entirely an artist's eye, patience, and skill that makes an image. ~Ken Rockwell VISIT MY GALLERY
