I followed this flutterby around the gardens till I finally got a shot. He was fluttering his wings when I took this one.

Canon 450D, with the canon 70-200mm f/4L USM lens, hand held. This image has been cropped some.

Thank you in advance for your comments. =^..^=sandi♥

Can see this by the edge of its left wing, Sandi.
Wonderful capture though.

Here also the chase was worthwhile Sandi. You have got a very nice image of the butterfly. Very good colours too.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?

Lovely capture and I do see the slight blur on the left wing but I think that contributes to the natural look of the shot.

Wow, such detail, colour and lighting. I really like the pretty butterfly and don't mind the bit of blur on wing closes to us. Fantastic close up.

Wow, nice shot, Sandi!
It's so sharp, woo.. The contrast between the buttefly and the plant it's on is great, yellow on purple-ish. :)
