Not perfectly focued but I thought it was worth sharing.

Thanks for viewing, and commenting.

I tried to make this one larger, but I know It's not as good as some of the other butterfly images I have shared.

Looks good to me. He may have fluttered his top wings a bit, but his lower wings and body are nicely in focus and the background colors and the pink flower really are a lovely setting for him. Nicely done, Tigs.

LYTRO. The new light field photography. Refocus your shots AFTER you have taken them. Just click on the word LYTRO. See a VIDEO HERE.

I have found at times it's difficult to get butterflies wings totally in focus, especially if there's any slight movement on their part. Lately I've been using a faster shutter speed (1600) while compensating for exposure & have had better success with the wings. Love the detail on the eyes / body plus the subtle pastel colors in the background are most pleasing. Beautiful work, Sandi.

Excellent, Tigs. You've made my day with this imperfect posting. While I've never taken a photo of a butterfly that's this good, it's refreshing to see that even the almighty Tigs has fallen from Mt. Olympus. I can't tell you just how difficult it is to write critiques on your postings. Perfect this and flawless that. Your tiny bit of motion blur is like a breath of fresh air.

Many thanks and my undying love and gratitude,

Roger

The focus is soft in the upper region Tigz. It gives it a feel of motion. Good shot but I prefer your others better.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.

I think Sheree has the answer with the faster shutter speed - but your shots are always good.

It looks like you used a wide open lens to get the effect. Excellent work, Sandi.

Love the background. The composition is excellent. It's like the butterfly is sitting on the flower just for you.

It only looks like the tips of the wings are a little out of focus but that does not take away the fact that this picture is nothing short of stunning! I am loving your series so far!

It is a big fellow and he (I suppose it is a male) looks very impressive in action. Very nice image Sandi.

I like the softer focus on its upper wings - seems about to flutter away.
A beautifully composed image Sandi.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . .

Nice capture, Sandi. The blur of upper wings is not very important and looks like capture of the movement. Super background again.
