Another capture with the canon 70-300 IS USM lens, hand held. I hope this size works for you, I tried diffferet sizes, and for the quality I did not want to go any larger.

I would like to dedicate this one to my friend Diane (marcaribe) who has a birthday today. Happy Birthday my friend, I thought this was fitting for our travelling buddy.

Thank you in advance for your comments.

Don't know what you have promised it, but it's posing perfectly for you, Sandi.
'Top Notch' macro, my friend!

You definitely have that camera and lens under your control, Sandi. This is another excellent, top notch shot of the butterfly on a foofy.

The antennae sure have you logged in. I think your model expects to be paid, and deserves it :-).

Twiggs, it almost looks like this one is hatching the flower rather than sitting on it, lol.

Diane bounces from place to place much like a butterfly, Tigz.

This is the perfect post for her birthday.

Happy Birthday, Diane.

In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest, where no one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art. ~Rumi~

This one's another beauty, Tigs. I'm not sure how you're about to even hold a camera with those ungodly red fingernails, yet you continue to post some of the best shots on Caedes. Perfect focus and DoF. Love the colors in the background.

Just wanted you to know I viewed your pretty image. I am recovering from botched eye surgery (cataract removal ) that did not go right. I will recover normal sight but it will take time.

Epic shot Tigger! The same lens that I just acquired this last week. It's amazing just what that lens is capable of!
