A Monarch captured at the Calendar Gardens with the canon 70-300 IS USM lens, hand held.

Thanks for the comments, not sure what others think but I do kind of miss the VB, it gave me some sense of quality, and appreciation of my images, but I will take your word for it, and apprecaite the constructive advice.

Beautiful detail on this Monarch & am surely enjoying this capture as I haven't seen to many them lately. You always manage to get your DOF perfect too.

I do miss the VB at times as well. Love your presentation on this capture ... very well done, Sandi.

No butterflies around here to speak of Tigz, so I will enjoy you free postings. The VB was definitely a love/hate relationship. I had one of those one time and got divorced. :)

This is as good as always Sandi, great light, details, composition and colors. Only thing for me is that it is to small for my DT. Beautiful!

Very good clarity and beautiful colours Sandi. True, I too miss the VB - Now I don't even know which of my images were supposed to be better than the rest! May be we should all ask Caedes to start it again after putting it to vote as I suggested in the discussion forum.

Nice and clear, Sandi - you can see it's tongue snaking right down into that itty bitty bloom. Pretty capture -

They're not free when I sell these photos at the swap meet. I'll get $10 for this beauty. I'm working with a new technique of printing onto canvas. This shot will fetch $50 framed on canvas.

P.S. Outstanding shot of the monarch, Sandi.

Fantastic big beautiful butterfly. This fellow looks very robus. You have got him so close up his wings look a little like theyre made from cardboard. Fantastic!
